Qantas today launched its Next Generation Check-in service giving its
customers a range of new technologies to help speed their passage through
the airport. The system which is initially being made available for the
2,300 domestic flights operated by the airline each week draws data from the
Amadeus Altea platform and was rolled out across the entire network
simultaneously.
As part of this,
passengers may now choose to check-in, receive check-in
notifications and retrieve their boarding passes direct to
their mobile telephones using a Book&Board solution
supplied by our partners Securidox. The new technology forms
an integral part of the airlines on-going commitment to
improve passenger communication and satisfaction as well as
generate savings in the Check-in process.
Research shows that traditional check-in systems can cause
significant dissatisfaction at the airport with the process
being too time consuming and stressful. The mobile check-in
system offers a convenient solution for passengers and
positive brand reinforcement for the airline. There are also
excellent opportunities for ancillary revenue generation
through advertising targeted to the passenger profile. To
