BEIJING--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 26, 2013--
NCR
Corporation (NYSE: NCR) announced today it will provide NCR
TouchPort kiosks to Ordos Ejin Horo Airport in China’s Inner Mongolia
Autonomous Region, through a partnership with Beijing Sinonet Technology
Co., Ltd (Sinonet). The kiosks will run on a common use self-service
(CUSS) platform, allowing passengers to use the kiosks for self-check-in
for flights on all the airlines that operate at the airport.
This is the first time that Ordos Ejin Horo airport has offered
self-service check-in for passengers. NCR’s technology is a major part
of Ordos Ejin Horo Airport’s and Sinonet’s effort to accommodate the
rapid increase in passengers at the airport.
NCR will also provide maintenance services for the kiosks to ensure
maximum availability.
Founded in 2007, the Ordos Ejin Horo Airport is a regional airport with
routes connecting to more than 30 cities in northern China. It currently
has a passenger volume of more than 1 million for the third consecutive
year. More than 10 airlines operate out of Ordos Ejin Horo, including
Air China, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Hainan
Airlines, Tianjin Airlines, Hebei Airlines and Spring Airlines.
Passengers arriving at Ordos Ejin Horo Airport can use the NCR
self-check in kiosks to check flight information, change seats, check
itineraries and print boarding passes. Passengers who have checked in
online but wish to make changes can also use the kiosks.
The NCR TouchPort kiosk comes with a faster processing speed, reducing
passenger transaction times. The kiosks also feature two-sided thermal
paper technology, which will save up to 40% on paper costs, help reduce
staff workload for paper replenishment and facilitate group check-in.
The kiosks can also read mobile barcodes, drivers’ licenses and
passports making the check-in process even easier and giving Ordos Ejin
Horo Airport the potential to develop paperless self check-in in the
future.
“Ordos Ejin Horo Airport has set a best practice model for other
regional airports in China by providing a shared self-service check-in
offering,” said NCR Travel Vice President and General Manager Tyler
