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 />
