This module covers all the different steps on how to accept passengers on a flight followed by the boarding process |
Accepting passengers with contact number
To accept a passenger with a contact number the command is through the SSR PCTC. The structure of the PCTC is:
1PU<item>,PCTC/<CONTACT NAME>/<COUNTRY CODE><PHONE NUMBER>{.<FREE TEXT>}
2PE-<secuence>,PCTC/<CONTACT NAME>/<COUNTRY CODE><PHONE NUMBER>{.<FREE TEXT>}
Example:
PU1,PCTC/JOE SMITH/US12548.PARTNER CONTACT
PU1,PCTC/JOE SMITH/US12548.PARTNER CONTACT
Info |
---|
If there is a PCTC in the reservation, and then another one is entered in the PU or PE, the one entered will be informed in the check-in process. The detailed information of the PCTC is included in the FLT file (version 1.5 onwards) The PCTC will be displayed in the PE, PH and PLC commands with the /* extension (Example: PLC4176/*, see Passenger Lists) |
The use of the contact number depends on the [CTC] PAX CONTACT REQUIRED parameter of the JJCHK table, which allows establishing whether the Check-In system will look for the PCTC information in the PNR or not. The parameter options are:
NO: the system will not look for the PCTC info in the reservation. It will only be included in the PLC and FLT file, if the PCTC is entered in the PU or PE commands.
OPTIONAL: the system will look for the PCTC information in the reservation (SSR PCTC), if it was not entered in the check-in commands. If the PCTC is not entered at check-in, or at the reservation, the check-in can be carried out without inconveniences; it is for this reason that the variable is called Optional.
MANDATORY: the system will look for the PCTC information in the reservation (SSR PCTC), if it was not entered in the check-in commands. If the PCTC is not entered at check-in, or at the reservation, the check-in cannot be performed; it is for this reason that the variable is called Mandatory (this variable is not yet available).
Accept passenger ignoring seat control (not implemented)
Those seats that might have a characteristic that does not allow the passenger to be seated will show a warning message indicating that the seat can’t be assigned, nevertheless the control can be override using different parameters
Note |
---|
The airport agent needs to have the keyword CHKSIC assigned on its profile |
Ignore Only Adults seats
The parameter is ,XSOA
(except seat only adult)
Example:
In this case row 13 doesn’t allow children or infant but when ,XSOA is entered the control is override and the seat is assigned. The action will be reflected on the flight’s history

Edit checked passengers
In order to edit passenger information, retrieve the passenger details by sequence number, seat or last name.
Passenger details can be retrieved from the PLC or from the passenger search entry (PF)
The number located after the " - " is the sequence number assigned by the system at the check-in
Search
Note |
---|
DCS system will display the passenger that is stored in memory, en case the info is expired or if you want to make sure you have the right passenger you will have to add the complete flight information after command line PE Example:

Search by sequence Number

Accepting baggage in connection with
segments fromother airlines flights
If an airport agent needs to accept and print a bag tag for a connecting flight with another airline, here are the steps to follow.
Note |
---|
Only valid for flights with automatic bag tag printing (check Control Panel BAGT:Y) |
In order to activate this feature parameter POA - ALLOW PRINT WITH OTHER AIRLINE SEGMENTS
must be turned on at JJCHK table, please contact our helpdesk at host@kiusys.com or contact your account executive. Available configurations are:
Y: it allows to print only those flights that are present in the passenger itinerary.
N: it does not allow to print segments from other airlines
M: it allows manual input of flights from other airlines which are not on passenger itinerary besides the ones that are present in the passenger itinerary.
Accepting baggage
with segments included on passengerin connection with other airlines flights on passenger´s itinerary
An airport agent should follow these steps for issuing bag tags for connecting flights which are present on passenger's itinerary and when there is not an IATCI agreement between the airlines.
Accept the passenger in all the flights but without adding any piece of baggage
Edit the passenger adding the baggage information, this action will add the bags to the online flights as well as those offline . Token is
,BTOAO<amount of connecting segments>
Connecting segments are those segments shown as outbound ./O on the passenger search (Command line PC) and without considering the online segments
PE<flight>/<date><route>-<sequence number>,O,BTOAO<number of connecting flights>,+<bag quantity>/<weight>

Passenger edition using using 2D/QR scanners
You can use a 2D/QR scanner to invoque and display the information from a passengers boarding pass, the command line is
PE-R
The intimidate response changes according to the environment where it's executed:
CUTE airports (SITA-ULTRA-ARINC-RESA): the command line awaits for the boarding pass to be scanned
Code Block |
---|
PE-R WAITING BOARDING PASS .... |
Info |
---|
The reader used in the CUTE environment might be overrride using the following commnad line. This action forces the behaviour emulating this functionality on an NON CUTE airport
IMPORTANT: this commnad lines only overrrides the configuration, we can´t guarantee the correct funtionality as the environment is controlled by a common use platform that might reject the use of an external peripheral |
NON CUTE airports: the command line executes a pop-up windows that enables the use of the scanner, bare in mind that this pop-up is single use, one scan at the time, instead of multiple scans used at boarding process. Every time the airport agents wants to use the scanner the command line should be triggered. In order to use this feature the agent should be using KIU v1.700.102 or higher and PBR2 option must be set up on the Readers Setup in table JJCHK
The information displayed on the screen is the same for both environments, a search by sequence number is displayed along with a combinad line ready to be used with the variables the airport agent may need
