Passengers check-in is the most important stage of technological service. It is exactly the stage when commercial load of aircraft is being formed and that means profit of passenger terminal. Besides, promptness of check-in considerably determines general efficiency of passenger terminal and passengers’ ability to bring non-aeronautical revenue to the airport — the quicker and simpler check-in will be the more prolonged time passengers will have for visiting shops, cafes and restaurants.
For passengers check-in is often an unpleasant process, especially if they have special needs, travel with skis or bicycle, little kid or dog. Properly organized technology of passenger terminal and its core — passenger check-in and departure control system IS-DCS — helps to service such passengers quickly.
The main goal of IS-DCS system is to increase efficiency of passengers’ check-in, control over loading of aircraft and preparation of commercial documentation. IS-DCS system deals with the following tasks:
Passenger and reservation lists management
Printing of boarding passes and baggage tags
Finding seats for passengers in the cabin of aircraft
Control of loading and weight and balance calculation
Control of passengers’ boarding an aircraft
Preparation of commercial documentation for aircraft’s departure
Receiving and sending standard IATA messages
