Today, automated passenger Check-in solutions have become well established and accepted worldwide. MATERNA’s efficient Common Use Self Service (CUSS), WEB and Mobile solution offer many benefits and advantages to airlines, airports and passengers. The full standardized MATERNA CUSS platform and applications provide a fast and comfortable-to-use Check-in. This is ensured with any kind of CUSS kiosk, at minimum costs, compared to typical counter Check-ins.

In addition to all internet or mobile opportunities, Check-in at the airport is still a popular and well-practiced approach. Standing in long queues at the airport and waiting to be checked-in is unlikely the preferred choice of most passengers. MATERNA’s self-service common use Check-in applications allow customers to comfortably use kiosks to check in for their flights. Usually a passport, a frequent flyer card or credit card or even a reservation code will be accepted for Check-in identification. During the Check-in process at the kiosk, the passenger can select a seat from the seat map, register for frequent flyer miles and finally print a boarding pass.

All kind of Internet applications are available at any time and any place. MATERNA’s Web Check-in is the method of choice to check in as early as possible and select the preferred seat on a plane. Web-based Check-in usually opens 24 hours before departure, time enough for the passenger to have his preferred seat reserved and his boarding pass printed out. Before printing the boarding pass the MATERNA WEB Check-in application offers to send the boarding pass as a 2D bar code to a mobile phone, just as it is done with our mobile phone Check-in solution.

For the experienced traveller, the mobile phone is an essential tool. When leaving his mobile number at reservation time, he will get a get a Check-in notification from the Check-in Reminder-Service 24 hours before departure. The MATERNA Mobile Check-in application is accessible by simply clicking the link on the display. The Check-in process is finished in less than a minute and the boarding pass is delivered as a 2D bar code to the mobile phone. For accounting purposes a copy of the boarding pass can of course be sent to an e-mail account.
