Air France reveals the name of its NFC mobile boarding solution - Pass and Fly
NFC (Near-Field Communications) is a wireless communication technology that operates at extremely short-range… about 10 centimeters. Using this technology, Air France is running the Pass and Fly trial that will turn consumers mobile devices into machine readable boarding passes. The Air France trial is in place only on the Nice-Paris route in Nice Cote d’Azur Airport.
The NFC device is so small it can be attached to your phone via a small sticker. It can then communicate with the IER NFC readers that are installed in Nice Cote d’Azur Airport. Travellers participating in the trial go to a special NFC booth in the airport, and swipe their mobile device. The passengers flight information and boarding pass are then automatically uploaded to the device. NFC readers at both the security gate and flight boarding mean that the device is the only boarding pass required.
