BCBP
BCBP (Bar-Coded Boarding Pass) enables an airline passenger to perform a mobile check-in procedure prior to arrival at the airport. Mobile check-in and ticketing are expected to be the next key industry breakthrough in the airline industry, as IATA (International Air Transport Association) expects to discontinue magnetic-stripe boarding passes in favour of mobile boarding passes with 2D barcodes.

Mobile bar-coded boarding passes can be provided to the traveller in various formats, such as SMS (via WAP-Push), MMS, via a mobile application or through the mobile browser (WAP). Because international SMS can provide the mobile ticketing service from anywhere, at any time, without special applications and with a standard mobile phone, text messaging remains the best technology to handle mobile phone, text messaging remains the best technology to handle mobile check-in services.
