Hyderabad: In an attempt to reduce boarding time at airports, Jet Airways is collaborating with the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security of India (BCAS) and Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) for a pilot project to test the use of mobile boarding passes on its flights.
During this trial phase, guests can use barcoded boarding passes on their mobile phones to enter Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport (KGIA), pass through security and board their flight. This removes the need for paper boarding passes and fast-tracks departure process.
This pilot project is being carried out on select Jet Airways flights from Bengaluru to Mumbai and Delhi on a trial basis from February 12, 2015. BIAL has installed mobile boarding pass scanners at the entrance of the terminal, security check points and the boarding gate.
GV Sanjay Reddy, Managing Director, BIAL, said: “The mobile boarding pass trial is a process improvement with simplicity and convenience at its core. This will have a direct impact on time saved and the overall passenger experience during departure. We are delighted that Jet Airways and Bengaluru Airport have partnered to test this concept”
To use mobile boarding passes during the trial period, Jet Airways customers will need to check in at Jetairways.com, m.jetairways.com or the Jet Airways mobile app and opt for a mobile boarding pass which has been designed in-house by Jet Airways and follows all IATA standards and requirements.
