V.C.Bird International Airport Introduces New Self-Service Kiosks With Option For Wheelchair-Accessibility

The departure experience at the V.C. Bird International Airport is now significantly enhanced with the introduction of a new generation of self-service kiosks.

Passengers at airports across the globe use these kiosks to complete many of the tasks traditionally handled at a check-in counter.

The new TS6 Flagship Kiosks at the VC Bird International is an improvement over the previous ones which printed boarding passes only. The new and modern versions are now able to produce baggage tags as well, enabling travelers to get through their check-in process as smoothly and swiftly as possible.

The upgrades form part of a major thrust by the Antigua and Barbuda Airport Authority to introduce cutting edge aviation conveniences to the V.C. Bird International. The driver of the initiatives is the airport’s Information Technology Department, which has undertaken a strategic approach in creating a smarter and more connected passenger journey for all travelers.

According to IT Manager Jasen Lewis, the services available through the new kiosks extend beyond the printing of boarding passes and baggage tags. Lewis explained that we are living in a period of significant digital transformation, where self-service technology and connected systems are reshaping how airports operate and enhancing the passenger experience.
