Technology: Indians to get Boarding passes in mobile phones

New Delhi, Oct 2: A good news for air travellers in India. They may soon receive their boarding passes in their mobile phones without wasting time in the long cues in airports. An air transport communications and IT solutions provider, SITA reportedly has been discussing the issue with airlines and other agencies since the new proposal has been popped up.

SITA reportedly is discussing the issue (boarding passes in mobile phones) with the authorities concerned for implementation of their PassengerWeb check-in application. The application allows people to check-in via electronic boarding passes sent directly to their phones.
