Like we've already know, using our mobile phones as boarding pass at the airport will help a lot & save a lot. Help to lessen the stress caused from queueing long line, and save a lot of money on... d'uh, I dunno. Maybe you know a lot more than I do ;-D ~LOL~But here's another research that shows the use of mobile phones to decrease all of those airport woes:
Airline IT provider SITA and Cambridge University claim that by using handsets to track passengers or inform them of gate changes, the number of flights delayed because of passengers will be vastly reduced, saving around £300 million (US$600 million) a year.
SITA also highlighted that mobile phones could also be used to store boarding passes, baggage tracking information and payment data.
"Our research shows that these mobile services will be available to all travellers worldwide over the next five years. In fact, by the end of 2010, 67 percent of airlines plan to offer mobile check-in. By then 82 percent of airlines also plan to offer notification services on mobiles," said Jim Peters, chief technology officer at SITA.
It really is another good news for frequent flyers, and for mobile phone owners. Source is from PCW Business Center.
