BMI launches text message ticket trial
27 May 2008Airline British Midlands (BMI) is trialling a mobile phone-based ticket system which could replace its print-at-home scheme if successful.
The text messages will display a barcode on the handset screen and will work only once to prevent unauthorised access to the boarding gate.
BMI’s goal is to speed up boarding times for customers travelling without luggage.
The airline is using the paperless system on routes connecting London to Edinburgh, Manchester and Belfast City.
