In Sheremetyevo via Skype

Sheremetyevo Airport was the first in the world to open flights on Skype . To do this, it is enough to make a video call to the login svo_checkin or svo1_checkin , give the e-ticket number, your name, passport details and flight number - and you will be issued a boarding pass in BMP format.

In fact, an airport employee fills in a questionnaire for you, which you yourself could fill in in the online registration section of the airline’s website. Obviously, the service is designed for the busiest people who can now get a boarding pass literally "on the run." Or for those who want to run directly to the flight, because check-in at the airport ends 40 minutes before the departure of the flight on a schedule.

Such high-tech services are not even in the largest airports in the world in Singapore and Frankfurt, said a representative of Sheremetyevo, which deals with the preparation of applications. A separate room was allocated for the project at the airport and two dispatchers were given. According to the employee, 15-20% of airport passengers will be registered via Skype in the future.

The new service is already operating on flights of ten airlines: Air Astana (3 hours before the flight), Royal Air Maroc (6 h), China Eastern Airlines (6 h), Estonian Air (4 h), Hainan Airlines (6 h), Hong Kong Airlines (6 hours), Iran Air (4 hours), Jat Airways (24 hours), Turkish Airlines (6 hours), Transaero (24 hours). Representatives of Aeroflot called this idea "strange."
