With this new technology the company facilitates self-service check in for passengers visiting the Pearl Lounge. This helps them access the lounge faster without having to visit the reception desk or wait in a queue. The passenger simply scans their printed or online boarding pass at the gate and enters the lounge.
The electronic gate effectively captures all boarding pass data, checks eligibility, enters the transaction into a database for billing and reporting, and opens the gate for eligible passengers – all in less than 2 seconds.
The electronic gate also supports lounge membership cards and vouchers.
The same technology will soon be adopted across the Pearl Lounge network globally, including Morocco, Kuwait, Egypt, India, and Tanzania.
Hassan El-Houry, Group CEO of NAS said “At NAS we are constantly driving efforts to introduce world class facilities and services to local airports, especially in the emerging markets. With innovative technologies such as the electronic gate, we aim to enhance the overall passenger experience by reducing waiting time and providing them with quicker access to our lounges.”
