Iberia passengers flying from Terminal 4 at Madrid Airport can now use their mobile phones to download boarding card information and to board aircraft.

The new service is available on all Iberia (except Madrid-Barcelona shuttle flights) and Iberia Regional Air Nostrum flights to Schengen destinations for passengers who don’t have any connecting flight.

Passengers can directly proceed to the aircraft, without a paper boarding pass, making passenger identification faster.

The mobile boarding card is based on a 2D (point-to-point) code and can be downloaded to cellphones and PDAs from www.iberia.com or www.iberia.mobi, 24 hours before the flight departs.

The mobile boarding card is valid throughout the airport, including the check-in counters, if luggage has to be checked-in, at the security control and at the gates to board the aircraft.

For passenger identification, it is necessary to put the cellphone or PDA near the phone boarding scanner. After that, the passenger has to wait a couple of seconds until the identification is positive.

Iberia has already implemented this service successfully in Barcelona, Bilbao, Amsterdam, Düsseldorf and Stockholm. From today, this service will also be available at Geneva airport and the airline will gradually add it throughout its airport network as technical facilities become available.
