BAA begins installation of self-service check-in

The British Airport Authority (BAA) is implementing a self-service check-in kiosk network, according to this article at vnunet.com. Here's a snippet:

"THE British Airports Authority (BAA) is to implement self-service check-in kiosks at its seven UK airports over the next five years.

The airport operator will start installing the kiosks this spring, beginning with 30 at Heathrow's Terminal 3, and 22 at Gatwick's South Terminal.

BAA is working with French supplier IER to install the kiosks, which it believes will reduce the cost and space requirements of traditional check-in facilities."
