StB Bar Coded Boarding Pass Implementation Guide 4.7. Timeframe We provide the following timeframe as guidance only (see fig. 17). The objective of this time chart is to help BCBP project managers get a vision of the timeframes of the project in order to book resources in advance.

Best practices During meetings with stakeholders we have collected stories about implementations, some of which we have decided to publish in this guide. We hope it will help more stakeholders to start implementing and provide us with additional stories for our next edition. 4.8.1. Contingency plans Once an airport removes all the ATB equipment, it still has to deal with passengers in transit who may still hold traditional boarding passes. 30/128 27-May-2009
Introduction The transition phase is two-fold: • Perform manual boarding for passengers in transit coming with traditional boarding passes. This number should not be big and declining strongly in the coming years • Inform connected airports that they should accept BCBP and perform manual boarding until they can install bar code readers at the gates 4.8.2. Dedicated kiosks As it is the airline’s decision to choose the printer type, airlines such as Air France or Air Canada have selected GPP instead of ATB to reduce costs. 4.8.3. Gates readers Depending on the ownership of the equipment, the decision to implement bar code readers may vary. In some airports it may depend on the terminal. Equipment Ownership Where (examples) Solutions (examples) Airline CDG2F AF decided to implement 2D bar code readers at all the gates to read the BCBP printed at their dedicated kiosks CUTE Local User Board (CLUB) / Airport Operation Committee (AOC) / Airline Operators’ Committee (AOC) MUC The Munich CLUB has agreed to pay a vendor (SITA) a monthly fee to use 2D bar code readers Airport CDG1 In CDG, Aéroports de Paris (the airport) decided to implement 2D bar code readers at all the gates 4.8.4. Transition solution The TAP example (see Appendix) is a good illustration of a transition solution. Two bar codes are printed on the same document: the 2D IATA standard and a 1D proprietary bar code. The 1D bar code is a code 128 containing only the seat number on 3 characters. The agent at the gate will use one code or the other depending on the equipment provided at the gate. 4 th edition - June 2009 - www.iata.org/stb/bcbp 31/128
