StB Bar Coded Boarding Pass Implementation Guide Boarding Gate Reader linked to a turnstile Turnstile activated by the reader Figure 65 - Example of self-boarding gate in Munich courtesy of Lufthansa 6.4. Security, immigration and taxes The rules governing identification and authorization will vary from one country to another depending on the local transportation authority. 6.4.1. Departing passengers screening The security staffs control the airside access. Checking valid flights ensures that: • Passengers are entering the right terminal • Passengers are not going airside after boarding has closed or when a flight is cancelled The authorities can use the 2D bar code on the BCBP to automate the control. Recording a set of fields for each BCBP enables to track duplicates. 74/128 27-May-2009
Checklist and timeframe Recommendation The following fields define a unique BCBP, without storing personal data: • Date of flight • Operating carrier code • Flight number • Seat number • Sequence number Sequence number should be unique for a given flight. However an airline may use a blank sequence number for an infant. The seat number helps to differentiate the infant (usually INF) from the adult. If a duplicate BCBP is detected at security check: • It may be that a passenger went airside, came back landside, and returned airside • Otherwise the airline and other agents are alerted 6.4.2. Fast track A fast track is a service offered to selected passengers to bypass the queue at a security checkpoint. An agent controlling the passenger’s boarding pass decides whether to grant the access to the fast track. The BCBP enables to automate the control, and consequently to make it self-service. Recommendation The following items should be used to control a boarding pass and grant access to the fast track: • Operating carrier designator • Compartment code There is no specific item in the bar code such as ‘access to fast track’. 6.4.3. Immigration The ET Itinerary Receipt provides proof of return travel where required by immigration. A proof of onward travel is provided by BCBP, where accepted. Recommendation • Government requiring immigration agent to stamp the boarding passes should reconsider their policy and processes in order to accept digital boarding passes (that cannot be stamped because they are not paper). • Immigration agent should prevent from stamping over the bar codes, because the stamp will make the bar code unreadable, which will delay the boarding of the aircraft. 6.4.4. Taxes In some countries authorities require passenger to pay departure taxes at a counter located before the security checkpoint. Passengers who paid the tax receive a sticker that is then scanned when entering security. 4 th edition - June 2009 - www.iata.org/stb/bcbp 75/128
