Embark is the world's foremost airline passenger boarding system, providing rapid, secure gate handling to airlines around the globe. Embark LBA2 will improve your entire gate operation, enhancing security, removing manual processes and speeding up passenger processing.

Easy to use, Embark presents a simple GUI to the agent regardless of the airline DCS, reducing training time to a matter of minutes. With our class-leading reconciliation technology you can also be sure that the airline DCS host is completely up-to-date.

Why Automated Boarding?

Quite simply, automated boarding improves every aspect of gate handling and the passenger experience. Embark significantly cuts the time taken to board aircraft, delivering a host of benefits to airports, airlines and ground handlers. Passengers can arrive later at the gate, improving services and providing additional revenue opportunities, while airline gate occupancy and staffing levels are reduced, promoting on-time departures with lower overheads.

Embark also operates in offline mode, which means that automated boarding can continue even if the host DCS goes down, helping you to ensure on-time departures in challenging circumstances.

Will I Need Additional Hardware?

Embark supports most coupon reading and scanning equipment commonly in use at airports worldwide, and all the major CUTE/CUPPS platforms, meaning that no additional harware or development is likely to be required.

Using common equipment dramatically reduces the cost of deployment and means you can be operational incredibly quickly.

What About Security?

Embark not only prevents passengers with invalid boarding passes from boarding a flight, it also detects and stops passengers with seat changes, avoiding confusion on board and giving you the opportunity to reissue boarding passes at the earliest opportunity. For many airlines Embark can even deny boarding for passengers with incomplete API data, helping you avoid increasingly punitive fines from border authorities.

For those airline DCS that support it, Embark will also send back passenger boarding information, ensuring the host is up to date at all times with the progress of the flight.

Did You Know?

Embark can be paired with automated boarding gates, helping airports and airlines drive forward their passenger self-service programs. If you want your passengers to help themselves, this is the solution for you. And if you are looking for a better approach to passenger check-in, the compaion airline GUI/CLF product Babel could be the answer.
