Impressive portfolio

Ink Innovation has an impressive portfolio which includes the most advanced Cloud-hosted Departure Control System capable of running across a range of devices. Ink is used by airports, airlines and ground handlers all over the world for their mission-critical passenger handling operations on desktops, self-service and mobile devices. 

 

Ink’s Self-Service significantly reduces waiting times and allows travellers to perform the check-in process in seconds with minimal effort. Ink Web Check-in gives passengers the ability to check in from the comfort of their home, office or hotel room later than other airlines permit. 

 

It allows (or restricts) seat changes only in rows that one wants to, following preset business rules. This customisation reduces the number of exceptions that need to be manually handled in the airport.

 

Ink BRS is to achieve AAA compliance by ensuring every bag loaded onto an aircraft belonging to passengers has boarded that aircraft. Misloads and slow offloading of baggage are frequent causes of delays. This mobile solution also allows locating the bags of passengers that do not board and easily detect misrouted baggage before loading onto the aircraft. LPort is keen to bring several of Ink Innovation’s products to the region in the coming months.-- TradeArabia News Service
