Egypt Air first in Africa granted green light to apply “Fast Travel” programme

Egypt Air has become the first airlines in Africa to be granted the green light for the application of the “Fast Travel” programme, accredited by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

The “Fast Travel” programme allows passengers to perform their travel arrangements via self-service channels, such as the internet, kiosks, smart phones or automated check in.

Arrangements involve six areas, which are; “check in, bags ready to go, document check, flight rebooking, self-boarding and fast recovery”.

At least four of the prior mentioned areas must be covered by airlines in order to facilitate the travel procedures and help customers in saving time and effort.
