According to the Washington Post, the system will give an “audible signal” if a passenger boards with the mistaken group, alerting the gate agent.
“The new technology is designed to ensure customers can easily take advantage of the benefits of priority boarding and helps improve the boarding experience by giving our team more insight into boarding progress,” said Andrea Koos, spokesperson from American.
The airline is “satisfied with the test results so far.”
