Emirates introduces eBP in Dubai hub

Daily news, 13 May 2008

DUBAI – Emirates Airlines has introduced a new boarding facility at its Dubai International Airport hub, enabling Emirates passengers carrying only hand luggage to bypass check-in and proceed directly through passport control and security to their boarding gate.

This development has been facilitated by the introduction of a new, home-printed e-boarding pass (eBP). Passengers with check-in baggage may also use the eBP, in conjunction with the "Quick Bag drop" counters.

“By printing an eBP at home, customers reduce or eliminate standing in queues at the airport. By automating processes we are able to bring about efficiencies that will provide a seamless customer passage starting at home, continuing through the airport, and all the way to the aircraft,” Dale Griffith, divisional senior vice president, Emirates Airport Services, said.
