StB <strong>Bar</strong> <strong>Coded</strong> <strong>Boarding</strong> Pass <strong>Implementation</strong> Guide<br />

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 />
