Similarly, the Head of Ground operations Mr Peter Omata explained how the device works.

In his words, “This is one of the products that will enhance our mode of operation. As you are all aware, one of the cardinal things in aviation is passenger facilitation. So, we acquired the mobile Pro-rangers to improve our facilitation.It is a device that aids facilitation and it has other functionalities that make the working process seamless and will make passengers enjoy their stay or their travelling through Aero Contractors. And one of the important functions of this software is that it quickens the boarding procedures. And once the boarding procedure is enhanced, invariably our on-time performance will be efficient and there will be no delays. And it also allows the company to capture passengers’ data from the checking point at the boarding gate in an on-time manner and aggregate information.”

“The device will go a long way to ease passenger processing and facilitation across its network as it grants passengers the ease of checking in from the comfort of their homes and airports, avoiding long queues while they get their boarding pass at the airports without queuing up,” he stated.
