\nEmirates<\/a>, one of the largest airlines, has just thought of a pretty unique and feasibly practical way to save a load of paper from ending up in the waste. The airline is now offering digital boarding passes, using internet-enabled mobile devices instead of paper. Currently available only to passengers flying out of Dubai<\/a>, the system allows passengers to log on to the airline website, and receive a mobile boarding pass, either via email or SMS that shows up as a barcode<\/a> on the display screen of the mobile device. The barcode is then read and works as a boarding pass, instead of using traditional paper boarding passes.<\/p>\n
\nWith this, Emirates hopes to save up about 550 kg of paper and more in the first year of the initiative and plans to spread the boarding-pass system across 30 other airports internationally.
