Jet Airways starts testing mobile boarding passes
20 Feb 2015 12:03 AM GMT
The airline said the pilot project has been kicked off on select flights from Bengaluru to Mumbai and New Delhi from February 12.
To facilitate the process, the Naresh Goyal-led airline has entered into a partnership with the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security of India and the Bengaluru international airport, it said.
During this trial phase, a passenger can use the barcoded boarding pass on the mobile phone to enter the airport and after the security checks can board the flight, and that the Bengaluru airport has already installed mobile boarding pass scanners at the entrance, security check-points and at the boarding gates.
To use mobile boarding passes, Jet passengers will need to check in online and opt for a mobile boarding pass. Commenting on the development, Jet Airways chief executive Cramer Ball said the initiative will greatly improve the on-ground guest experience during departure. If the city’s experience is good, the airline may extend this service across all Jet flights.
Bengaluru airport managing director GV Sanjay Reddy said, the mobile boarding pass trial is a process improvement with simplicity and convenience at its core and will have a direct impact on time saved and the overall passenger experience.
