Starting from February 28, 2011, Transaero Airlines passengers flying from Moscow Domodedovo Airport are able to get their boarding pass via sms.
The new service is a part of Transaero’s high tech flight booking service platform, and is compatible with a wide range of different mobile devices and operating systems, including Internet Explorer Mobile (Windows mobile), Mobile Safari (iPhone), Android (HTC, Asus, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson and other communicators), Symbian (Nokia), standard Samsung, LG and other popular mobile devices supporting CSS1.
During mobile check-in a passenger indicates his or her phone number to receive a special web-link by sms. The boarding pass will be formed automatically and downloaded after following the received link. New service will make self-check in much easier – the passenger just save the sms with the web-link for the code of boarding pass and download it at the airport.
At the moment the service is available only for Russian mobile operators’ subscribers.
Implementation of the service has become a result of the ongoing work of Transaero for developing and perfection of the mobile registration technology.
