This is an initiative by IATA and ATA. It is the standard for multiple airline to provide a check-in application for use by passenger on a singe device. IATA and ATA adopted this new standard during the Joint Passenger Service Conference in November 2000. These kiosks fundamentally allow passengers to control a key comporent of their journey through the airtport thus saving time spent queuing or standing in Iine waiting for their boarding pass to be issued by a check-in agent at the desk. It harneases the technological shift provided by the e-ticket project, shares with the Bar code Boarding Pass (BCBP) project for Bonding Pass production. mirrors trends in internet usage for passenger check-in, and delivers a platform for bag tag issuance.
