StB <strong>Bar</strong> <strong>Coded</strong> <strong>Boarding</strong> Pass <strong>Implementation</strong> Guide<br />
3.2.2. Software<br />
Aéroports de Paris (ADP) has decided to implement 100% <strong>BCBP</strong> in Charles de Gaulle (CDG)<br />
Terminal 1. Airlines whose applications are not 2D bar code ready can use the bar code<br />
equipment. ADP provides a translator for magnetic data to <strong>BCBP</strong> data adapted to each carrier’s<br />
pectab. The carriers and the airport have to agree where to insert the 2D bar code on the<br />
boarding pass (see fig. 9). Carriers provided ADP with pectabs and paper stock samples to<br />
perform the tests.<br />

3.2.3. Charges<br />
Assuming that one airline manages to check-in 50% of its passengers on the web, the airline<br />
should be able to cut the need for check-in counters and corresponding staff by half. The CUTE<br />
charges may still be calculated on the actual departing passenger counts.<br />
Check-in costs<br />
Basis<br />
Amount<br />
(not actual data)<br />
Potential<br />
Reduction<br />
Check-in counter annual rent Per counter per year $100,000 50%<br />
Check-in Staff Per year $40,000 50%<br />
CUTE passenger charge Per departing passenger $0.60 0%<br />
In a space constrained airport self-service check-in would enable one airline to open more flights<br />
in a limited check-in area and to process more flights with a limited staff.<br />
3.2.4. Home printed <strong>BCBP</strong> acceptance<br />
Airport authorities may require that a sample home printed <strong>BCBP</strong> be provided prior to accepting<br />
them at security.<br />
3.3. Dealing with ground handlers<br />
Ground handlers are a key stakeholders in the <strong>BCBP</strong> project. They process passengers from<br />
check-in to boarding, they issue boarding passes at check-in counters and check them at the<br />
gate.<br />
