02.01.2022 MOBILE BOARDING PASSES ON THE WAY Etihad is in the process of introducing mobile boarding passes for passengers travelling on selected routes with the aim of "streamlining the departure and boarding experience". The service is already operating in 13 major international airports and will roll out to more airports as the new electronic readers are installed across its global network. The advantages of mobile boarding passes are claimed to be an expanded range of check-in opt...ions, the ability to store multi-sector boarding passes on a single mobile, less paper consumption and a lower risk of boarding pass loss. An Etihad spokesman said "The elimination of paper boarding passes will be more convenient for our guests and reduce our environmental footprint, which is good for the guest, the business and for the environment. Its safe to assume that as one airline introduces the new technology, the others will soon follow.
