NCR and Visioglobe Help Passengers Catch Flights on Time in Dubai International Airport
World’s #1 airport for international passenger numbers deploys NCR
Wayfinding kiosks to provide passengers quickest routes to terminals
DULUTH, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NCR Corporation, the global leader in consumer transaction technologies,
today announced that the world’s leading international airport, Dubai
International (DXB), has enhanced its passenger experience with the NCR
Wayfinding solution integrated with Visioglobe, editing indoor map
management software. The integration allows passengers to scan boarding
passes at an NCR kiosk and view a map and recommended route to their
departure gates with the remaining time until the plane departs as well
as explore shop, dine and relax options in the meantime.
“In 2015, Dubai International served 78 million passengers. Many of
these travelers have never set foot in our airport, which can lead to
uncertainty around locating their departure gate as well as lack of
awareness on all the other fantastic lifestyle products and services we
have to offer,” said Matt Horobin, Dubai Airport head of digital media.
“Now, passengers can walk up to a kiosk and receive a personalized map,
along with expected walking time to any and every airport destination.
It’s a better travel experience.”
Passengers aren’t the only beneficiaries of the integration, according
to Visioglobe CEO, Eric Bernard.
“Travelers tend to feel more confident when they know where they’re
going and how much time they have to get there,” Bernard said. “This
leads to more spending at shops and restaurants along the way. The
traveler has a better airport experience while vendors generate
additional revenue. Moreover, passengers can reach their gate on time
and decrease flight delay departure.”
Additionally, airport staff can publish map, route, and point of
interest data to kiosk, web and mobile channels in a single step.
“Dubai International averages nearly two million kiosk interactions each
year, a number we expect to grow. As travelers continue to rely on
technology, Dubai Airports in partnership with NCR continue to provide
its customers a simple, attractive interface while offering airport
staff intuitive functionality for quick and easy map updates,” said Paul
Langenbahn, president, NCR Hospitality.
