NCR kiosks land at China's Ordos Ejin Horo Airport

March 27, 2013

NCR Corporation announced today it will provide NCR TouchPort kiosks to Ordos Ejin Horo Airport in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, through a partnership with Beijing Sinonet Technology Co.

Ordos Ejin Horo Airport is a regional airport with routes connecting to more than 30 cities in northern China.

The kiosks will run on a common use self-service (CUSS) platform, allowing passengers to use the kiosks for self-check-in for flights on all the airlines that operate at the airport — marking the first time that Ordos Ejin Horo airport has offered self-service check-in for passengers. Passengers can also use the kiosks to check flight information, change seats, check itineraries and print boarding passes.

Features of the kiosks include two-sided thermal paper technology, which will save up to 40 percent on paper costs, help reduce staff workload for paper replenishment and facilitate group check-in, the announcement said. The kiosks can also read mobile barcodes, drivers' licenses and passports.

"Ordos Ejin Horo Airport has set a best practice model for other regional airports in China by providing a shared self-service check-in offering," said NCR Travel Vice President and General Manager Tyler Craig. "The NCR self-check-in kiosks help regional airports make traveling easier and more convenient and truly bring cost savings and efficiency to both airports and airlines."
