As befits the nature of the record-breaking ‘Oasis of the Seas’ cruise ship, Royal Caribbean Cruises must provide world-class baggage and passenger processing.
As explained by the TSA, when implementing new technologies in airports of the future, coordination between government and industry stakeholders is vitally important.
As airlines increasingly explore offsite and automated check-in, the traditional process has been placed under threat, raising the question: ‘Is check-in dead?’
The development of apps, mobile check-in and the 2D boarding pass means that mobile technology is playing an increasingly important role in the travel process.
In order to further simplify and secure air travel, biometric technology and common standards for passenger and document checks will play a key role.
As part of the ongoing Simplifying the Business (StB) initiative, the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Fast Travel programme is rapidly progressing, attracting global support from airlines, airports and passengers alike. Ryan Ghee spoke to Stephan Copart, project manager, Fast Travel – IATA.
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.

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 […]
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).

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.
The CUPPS (Common Use Passenger Processing System) initiative is currently in its pilot phase, which is divided into four segments: the technical trials (currently ongoing), the compliance trials, the specification update, and the specification release. Ross Falconer reports on progress and the next steps.
Common-use bag drops are emerging at the airport as an extension of the self-service experience – transferring more control away from the airline agent into the hands of the passenger. Louise Driscoll reports on the benefits and challenges for the industry.
The evidence suggests mobile will become the dominant form of check-in. Sales of internet-ready Smart Phone devices continue to grow at a significant pace – around 30% year-on-year. Meanwhile, major online players – such as Google and Yahoo Microsoft – are investing significant resources in developing and improving their mobile web offerings. Ross Falconer reports.
Where the US has successfully extended the check-in process away from the mobile phone and internet to offer a full-service remote skycap operation, further potential is seen to serve high passenger volumes at a time based on enlarging the cruise ship program to deal with conventions. Across the Atlantic, select destinations in Europe will soon […]
As Lufthansa provides its customers with more options at the self-service kiosk and Ryanair continues its phasing out of dedicated desks in favor of 100% web check-in, the future of the check-in desk is back in the spotlight. Louise Driscoll reports.
easyJet has spent some considerable time evaluating the ideal check-in process it would like to operate. Central to this is internet check-in and the use of web-based systems.
