Malev and SITA bring web check-in to Hungary

Malev, the national carrier of Hungary, today announced the introduction of web check-in. This new service, using the technology of aviation IT specialist SITA, enables Malev passengers departing from Budapest Ferihegy airport to check-in quickly and easily from anywhere, avoiding queues and speeding their journey through the airport.

Peter Leonov, CEO, Malev said: “Passengers are demanding more self-service options and we are delighted to make them available. With our new Online Check-in Malev’s e-ticketed passengers departing from Budapest to all short haul destinations can check-in from the comfort of their own home, office, or indeed anywhere they have Internet access.

“Web check-in is just one of the many ways we are providing options to our customers to ease their journey with us. Already we have installed 6 self-service check-in kiosks at our home base Budapest Airport and for many years now we have provided online booking to all our customers. Over the next 12 months we will extend Online Check-in to our passengers flying from any airport where this type of check-in can be implemented.”
