(CAPA) WestJet and Edmonton Airports have launched flow-through check-in at Edmonton International Airport.
With flow-through check-in, WestJet passengers keep their baggage with them after it is tagged and then they place it on a belt themselves. Passengers move forward through the check-in counters then straight through to the baggage belt, creating less congestion than the traditional counter set-up.
"Edmonton International Airport is Canada's fastest-growing airport and we are pleased to have partnered with WestJet to create an innovative and efficient check-in area," said Reg Milley, CEO Edmonton Airports. "WestJet's new CAD2.6 million flow-through check-in is a prime example of using new technology to optimise space and provide an improved passenger experience."
"WestJet is thrilled to add Edmonton as our fourth destination to offer flow-through check-in for our guests," said Mike Hafichuk, WestJet Director of Airports Planning. "We strive to offer our guests a friendly, efficient and stress-free experience from time of booking to final destination, and flow-through check-in is another option on WestJet's growing list of innovative check-in choices."
WestJet now offers passengers the option of either checking in online through web check-in, on their PDA using mobile check-in, at a self serve check-in kiosk at the airport, or by using a traditional counter or flow-through check-in. WestJet was also the first airline in North America to launch the electronic boarding pass which is accepted at all 26 WestJet Canadian destinations.
