Finnair Introduces Mobile-Phone Check-in at Copenhagen Airport

Posted on: Monday, 8 September 2008, 09:00 CDT

Finnair has introduced mobile-phone check-in for its passengers at Copenhagen Airport.

Finnair said that it is the first foreign airline to introduce mobile-phone check-in at Copenhagen Airport. In addition to mobile-phone check-in, Finnair's about 120,000 locally departing passengers per year can also use the check-in kiosks or check in online.

By using mobile-phone check-in, the airline's passengers do not have to queue up at the check-in counters, and they can go directly to the security checkpoint if they only have carry-on baggage.

The passengers will receive a text message three hours or more before departure from their airline offering check-in by mobile phone. Check-in will be completed if the passenger confirms the text message. After check-in, the passenger will receive a multi-media message which acts as the boarding card for security screening, duty-free shopping and at the gate.

Rolf Backman, vice president of Finnair Scandinavia, said: "Finnair is pleased to offer this check-in feature at Copenhagen as we see it as an improvement of our service to passengers and a feature our passengers will find very practical."
