Scandinavian Airlines will roll out SAS Smart Pass across Scandinavia this fall, making it one of the first airlines in the world to offer a mobile NFC (Near Field Communication) solution to quicker passes through the airport.
The SAS Smart Pass was successfully trialed earlier this year amongst selected members of the airline's frequent flyer programme, EuroBonus, in three Scandinavian cities. The new technique is the latest within NFC, allowing EuroBonus Gold members to put the SAS Smart Pass on their mobile phone, which then acts as a wireless transmitter across the airport at Self Service machines, security, Fast Track, lounges, tax free shopping and by gate.
The SAS Smart Pass will be launched across Scandinavia in September and will be available to all EuroBonus Gold members.
