Check-In ’09 Heralded as a Great Success
Over 250 delegates from all over the world attended Check-In ’09 to learn about the latest advances in passenger and baggage processing.
First CUPPS compliance certification achieved
The first CUPPS (Common Use Passenger Processing System) certification has been achieved. In August, SITA became the first platform provider to achieve compliance certification and to successfully complete its CUPPS Pilot Program. Ross Falconer reports.
Enhancing security, improving customer service
The CATSA (Canadian Air Transport Security Authority) Boarding Pass Security System (BPSS) trial was initiated as a partnership with Aéroports de Montréal, in which both organizations contributed requirements, resources and oversight. Peter Burden, General Manager, Screening Operations Projects, CATSA, outlined details of the project to Ross Falconer.
Kuala Lumpur’s StB vision
Malaysia Airports will host the inaugural Check-in Asia conference and exhibition at the Pan Pacific, Kuala Lumpur, on 24-26 November 2010 – a new check-in forum specifically for the Asia Pacific region. Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is also one of the first Asia Pacific airports to become 100% BCBP (bar coded boarding pass) capable – one of several IATA Simplifying the Business (StB) projects now live at the airport in collaboration with Malaysian Airlines and SITA. Louise Driscoll reports.
Access IS promotes face-up bar code scanning
Whether your ticket is read face-up or face-down by the scanner can have a significant impact on how long passengers are kept waiting. There have been successful trials to present them on mobile phones and personal digital organisers (PDAs) – a trend that may grow. This variety of media makes accurate, first-pass scanning harder and trials have shown that reading a document face-up achieves faster boarding than placing a document face-down.
Innovative airport solutions
Ultra Electronics Airport Systems has announced the launch of its latest operational solution. UltraConnect is the company’s new global aviation messaging solution, which is able to provide reliable routing of all airline message types with particular focus at this stage on IATA RP17545 BSMs (Baggage Service Messages). The solution is already in use at one UK airport and is routing BSMs from some major carriers.
Streamlining airline handling operations
All Nippon Airways has chosen Damarel to supply the latest version of its full DCS back up system. The solution provide a real-time transfer of passenger and flight information between an airline’s own DCS and Damarel’s Local DCS, ensuring the best possible continuation of service and on-time performance.
