Hamad International Airport (HIA) recently launched its new iBeacon-enabled mobile app.
The new app will provide passengers better connectivity through the airport. HIA is among a select few airports in the world to have used iBeacons for way-finding and providing its customers with context relevant information about promotional offers to enhance their airport experience.
With a simple scan of the boarding pass and opt-in for location detection, the app provides real-time information about flight status, baggage claim, time and direction to boarding gates and food, beverage and retail offers.
The app also alerts users when walking past outlets with ongoing promotions. A global search feature matches and delivers relevant content and information fast.
The app is currently available for iOS-based devices. The future road map includes launch of the Android app in Q2 2016, further improvements to the way-finding experience through integration with the airport’s complimentary passenger Wi-Fi system.
