Qantas has launched a trial of its all-new Next
Generation Check-in system at its domestic terminal at Perth
Airport.
The Next Generation Check-in is designed to
dramatically reduce check-in times, and eliminate queues for
customers, allowing them to move through the check-in area with
greater speed and ease.
“A group of
approximately 100,000 Qantas Frequent Flyers who regularly travel
through Perth have been invited to take part in the Next
Generation Check-in trial,” said Qantas Chief Executive Officer, Mr Alan
Joyce. “The majority of these customers will have received their
new Qantas Frequent Flyer Card embedded with “intelligent Q” chip
technology ... With one touch of their Frequent Flyer
Card on our new Q Card Readers, passengers will now be checked in
within seconds. The new card will also act as a permanent boarding
pass.”
A priority security lane has also opened in Perth
featuring improved preparation areas and new walk-through
equipment to support faster processing through the screening area.
Throughout the Perth trial,
construction and training will continue in Sydney, which will be
ready to launch Next Generation Check-in later in 2010, followed
by Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra in 2011. The program
is scheduled for completion in the second half of 2011.
