According to SITA, the entire process takes less than a minute.
This self-bag drop solution has been tested on S7 check-in counters since early September and positive feedback was received from more than 1,000 passengers that used the service. Accordingly, by the end of the year, 24 check-in counters at Domodedovo will be equipped with the self-bag drop technology, allowing other airlines to use the service.
Scan&Fly will accelerate and simplify the check-in process for passengers. Equipped with a document scanner and a hand-held infrared barcode reader, it takes only three simple steps for passengers to check-in a bag. First, the boarding pass barcode (printed or digital) is scanned, a bag tag is printed and then the passenger attaches the tag to their bag before depositing it for processing.
Igor Borisov, Director of the Moscow Domodedovo airport, commented: "This is an important stage in the transformation of the passenger's journey at Domodedovo airport. We are actively implementing paperless and smart technologies so that passengers can freely manage their time at the airport. We are pleased that we have implemented Scan&Fly together with our important partners S7 and SITA, with whom we share common values: technology, drive for innovation and high quality of service for every passenger.”
