Singapore Airlines, which has recently added self-printed 2D boarding passes in its service bouquet, aims to strengthen its security circle with these passes. Though the driving force behind its decision is IATA’s target for all airports to be 2D barcode compliant by 2008, the carrier suggests the switchover to be also due to some other intellectual motives.
“With the 2D boarding passes, the check-in process has moved away from the airport to a site that is most accessible and convenient to the customer. Now, they can check-in and choose their seats via company’s website. This has increased convenience to customers and meant an improvement in our service standards. These passes also bring us one step closer to increasing paperless transactions, and help reduce the cost incurred by the airline (as compared to when boarding passes are printed out on tickets with magnetic strips),” says Foo ChaiWoo, general manager, India, Singapore Airlines.
