China Southern Airlines, took a major hi-tech step forward with the introduction of the nation’s first-ever automatic check-in boarding system at the new Baiyun International Airport.

Common-place throughout the USA and in Europe, China Southern’s new system marked the first time any airline in China is offering self-service passenger check-in for domestic flights. Currently the service is only available for one domestic route – between Guangzhou and Changsha – but the airline is planning to significantly expand this service and making it available for all flights by the end of 2005.

Four new self-service counters are available at Baiyun International Airport for Internet customers and check-in takes approximately 30 seconds for passengers to select their seat and receive their boarding cards. This new service is especially convenient for customers who don’t have any luggage to check-in.

Mr. William Ding, founder and chief architect of Internet portal Netease website was the first customer to try out this new service.
