Aeritas, Inc., an innovator in mobile commerce technology, today officially announced the travel industry's first nonstop mobile check-in and boarding service.
Using patent-pending technology, Aeritas Express(TM) For Travel combines voice and text interaction in a single user session, enabling airline passengers to conveniently check-in to a flight and receive a barcode-based boarding pass directly on their mobile phone or PDA. The boarding pass is then scanned at the gate using the airline's existing equipment.
Aeritas recently announced agreements with Sabre Inc., and Siemens Business Services, Division Transportation (Germany). Testing of this first-of-its kind service with select U.S. and European airlines is scheduled for this quarter, with rollout planned for later this year.
"Carriers are under tremendous pressure to make airline travel less stressful and to improve overall passenger satisfaction," said Malik Mamdani, Aeritas' chief executive officer. "By eliminating check-in lines and streamlining the boarding process, Aeritas Express For Travel enables airline carriers to sharpen their competitive edge and strengthen customer loyalty.
"Aeritas Express For Travel is the first of many unique m-commerce solutions deployed from our platform," added Mamdani. "By combining the best elements of speech recognition and verification, Web, wireless, and barcode technologies, Aeritas is redefining the customer experience for the mobile world."
