Introduction<br />
It is airlines’ role to request that their handling agents use the <strong>BCBP</strong> standard. The Airport<br />
Handling Manual provides a standard handling agreement (AHM 810), which includes the<br />
provision of <strong>IATA</strong> standards. In the case of boarding passes, the <strong>IATA</strong> standard is <strong>BCBP</strong>.<br />
3.4. Dealing with security and governments<br />
The rules dictating what travel documents are required to proceed through security and<br />
immigration checkpoints are set by local or national administrations. Depending on the country,<br />
requirements related to boarding passes may vary from a simple visual check to stamping,<br />
stickers or other local procedures.<br />
It is airlines’ role to engage the local authorities and request that bar coded boarding passes,<br />
issued at the airport or remotely, on paper or on mobile phones, are equally accepted.<br />
