In a first of its kind initiative in India, Jet Airways, India’s premier international airline, is collaborating with the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security of India (BCAS) and Bangalore International Airport (BIAL) for a pilot project to test the use of Mobile Boarding Passes on its flights.
During this trial phase, guests can use bar-coded 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. To use mobile boarding passes during the trial period, Jet Airways guests will need to check in at ietairways.com, m.ietairways.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.
Jet Airways currently operates a fleet of 116 aircraft, which include 10 Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft, 8 Airbus A330-200 aircraft, 4 Airbus A330-300 aircraft, 76 next generations Boeing 737-700/800/900/900ER aircraft and 15 ATR 72-500 and 3 ATR72-600.
