'Indian' gets web check-in facility

Bird Information Systems (BIS), a leading provider of automated travel solutions, has announced use of its Web check-in application service for the national carrier, 'Indian'.

Indian will adopt this state-of-the-art BIS technology, and will brand it as "i Check-in" service.

It is learnt that the "i Check-in" service will allow passengers holding e-tickets to check-in from the comfort of their home or office, thereby saving a lot of their time.

The service works by presenting the passenger a simple user-friendly Web check-in option on the Internet booking engine of 'Indian' (www.indianairlines.in).

The passenger needs to enter basic booking details, and with a few clicks he/she can avail the boarding pass right from his desktop. As such he/she can save time by directly going to the security gate at the airport.

Talking about this service, Ankur Bhatia, Executive Director, Bird Information Systems, said, "We are committed to offer the latest technology solutions to 'Indian', be it e-ticketing through Amadeus (BIS affiliate) in the past, or the latest Web check-in service.

The Web check-in facility will enhance the overall efficiency of 'Indian' enabling them to streamline operations and ultimately deliver a matchless experience for end travellers."

Commenting on the partnership, Vishwapati Trivedi, Chairman and Managing Director, Indian, said, "We have committed ourselves to redefine air travel in India by offering the very best on ground and on air.

This facility will greatly help all our domestic travelers who in today's day and age have very little time at hand to handle check-in facilities. This facility would save time, increase productivity, and offer seamless service to our clients."
