The complexity in the <strong>BCBP</strong> project comes from the variety and the number of stakeholders<br />
involved (see fig. 7).<br />

3.2. Dealing with airports<br />
Airports owning check-in and boarding infrastructure should request advice from carriers<br />
operating their facilities.<br />
<strong>IATA</strong> monitors the availability of 2D bar code capable equipment at more than 2000 airports in<br />
the world. An interactive map of the world airports (see fig. 8), available on the StB portal, shows<br />
the status of shared equipment and allows zooming in on one region or one airport. The 2D<br />
capability of airport equipment is represented in colour-coded balloons.<br />
Definition<br />
Platinum means that all the airlines in scope are capable of printing <strong>BCBP</strong> at the airport.<br />
Green means that at least one airline in scope is capable of printing <strong>BCBP</strong> at the airport.<br />
Orange means that there is a plan to get the shared boarding pass printers to support 2D.<br />
Red means that there is no airline in scope capable of printing <strong>BCBP</strong> at the airport.<br />
