As part of its mission to drive industry-leading customer service, Air
Macau recently deployed a self-service airline check-in solution
from NCR
Corporation, the global leader in consumer transaction technologies.
The NCR technology will make traveling easier for passengers by saving
valuable time that would be otherwise spent waiting in line.
A regional carrier based in Macau, Air Macau has continued to grow in
line with the rapid development of Macau’s tourism industry. In meeting
the growing passenger volume, delivering the highest level of customer
service has become a top priority of Air Macau.
“Being the first airline to make self-service check-in available at the
Macau International Airport is an important step in creating an
exceptional passenger experience,” says Yang Jianhua, commercial vice
president at Air Macau. “NCR’s leadership within the global travel
industry was important to us, but their local support and expertise
during the implementation process proved to us that we made the right
choice.”
As part of the relationship, NCR will also provide Air Macau with
after-sales service support.
“NCR was actually recommended to Air Macau by another airline in the
region. That’s the type of sales support you simply can’t buy but have
to earn,” says Tyler Craig, vice president and general manager, NCR
Travel. “We intend to honor that trust every day as we work with Air
Macau to help them grow and prosper for many years to come.”
Using NCR technology will make everyday easier for Air Macau passengers
by enabling them to check-in, access flight information, select seats,
and scan and print boarding passes. The NCR airline check-in kiosks run
on Common Use Self-Service (CUSS) platform, which allows applications
from other allied member airlines to run concurrently on a single
self-service device. Onsite support services will ensure maximum
availability and NCR’s patented two-sided thermal paper technology saves
up to 40 percent on paper boarding pass and receipt costs, reducing
staff workload for paper replenishment.
NCR currently provides self-service check-in solutions for three of the
top five airlines worldwide.
