Kiosks flying into Frontier airports

May 9, 2011

NCR Corporation and Frontier Airlines today announced the roll-out of 75 NCR kiosks to an additional 14 airports across the U.S.

The NCR TouchPort 70 is an "all-in-one" check-in system, combining touchscreen, printer, components and peripherals in a compact unit that fits into virtually any airport environment, according to a company press release.

"The advanced hardware technology can be adapted to various configurations, such as ticket counters or free-standing podiums, offering a flexible system that responds to changing operational needs," the release stated.

The airline's use of NCR kiosks in Denver has reduced operational costs and improved overall efficiency, according to Frontier officials. Today, nearly 70 percent of its passenger check-ins occur via self-service channels — either on the Web or at an airport kiosk.

Deployment of the 75 kiosks kicked-off in March in Omaha, Neb., and the rest will be installed and available for passenger use by September. Additional cities planned include Orlando, Fla., New York, Grand Rapids, Mich., Philadelphia, Dayton, Ohio, Colorado Springs, St. Louis, Atlanta, Albuquerque, Austin, Newark, Nashville and Seattle.
