Collins Aerospace introduces mobile phone check-in at airport kiosks

September 3, 2020

Collins Aerospace Systems, a Raytheon Technologies business, is eliminating the need to physically touch kiosk touchscreens during airport check-in and baggage drops, according to a press release. The company's Kiosk Connect solution provides an end-to-end, contactless airport journey.

By simply scanning a QR code with their mobile device, passengers can quickly connect to a common use kiosk using either the airport's public Wi-Fi or the kiosk's built-in Wi-Fi, with no requirement to download any apps. From there, users complete the check-in process on their phones and produce boarding passes and bag tags without ever touching the kiosk screen.

"When combined with our secure biometric solutions and self-service airport products, this new feature enables travelers to experience a contactless airport journey all the way from check-in to boarding," LeAnn Ridgeway, vice president and general manager, information management services for Collins Aerospace, said in the press release.
