South African Based airline FlySafair announced that its passengers can now send their boarding passes to their phones through WhatsApp, on completion of their check-in process. This initiative will enable passengers who use third-party booking mode and those whose contact number were incorrect to provide a new number that will receive the boarding pass. This process will also permit multiple sending of boarding passes to different passengers individually via WhatsApp.

According to Kirby Gordon, FlySafair’s head of sales and distribution, the process is to ease the travel experience. He said, “Over and above providing a low-fare and on-time travel experience, we want to ensure that our passengers have access to a hassle-free experience. And that is what we aim to achieve by enabling our passengers to receive their boarding pass via WhatsApp.

Download boarding pass directly to device

Send boarding pass to a contact number of choice, via WhatsApp
