New Delhi: Domestic flyers will soon be able to skip check-in queues at airports and board the aircraft by simply flashing their smartphones. The aviation ministry has asked the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) to develop a protocol for flyers to get bar-coded boarding cards on their phones with which they can proceed for security checks.
Passengers are now allowed to enter airports by showing the electronic tickets on their phones instead of hard copies of the same. E-boarding cards will take the mobile technology initiative forward. Airlines will email boarding cards to passengers once they check-in online or telephonically.
