Airport Kiosk

Airport kiosks are self-service machines that allow travelers to perform various tasks such as check-in, print boarding passes, check bags, and request seating changes.ย They are designed to automate many common air travel-related tasks while providing convenience to the user and ultimately putting less strain on airport staffย 1.

In addition to these specific functions, airport kiosks can also provide the same benefits as traditional kiosks, including increased brand visibility, wayfinding functionality, news headlines, and public health messagingย 1.
