"US Airways has deployed NCR Corp. mobile boarding pass technology at 14 US airports, following pilot programs at Las Vegas and Charlotte. The carrier said it plans to expand to additional airports this year. With the mobile boarding pass, customers receive an email following check-in, with a digitally signed and encrypted 2D bar code compatible with airport scanners and boarding gate readers. “Consumers increasingly expect more control at their fingertips,” NCR Travel VP and GM Tyler Craig said. “By expanding its self-service offering beyond kiosk and web to include NCR Mobile Pass, US Airways is furthering its commitment to providing a seamless and convenient passenger experience.” http://atwonline.com/it-distribution/news/us-airways-ncr-team-mobile-boarding-pass-service-0915
