CRANE DCS : Web Based Departure Control System

Crane DCS is a fully featured web-based departure control system that allows fast and effective check-in. It can be used as an integral part of our popular Crane PAX Reservations & Ticketing solution or can be deployed as a stand-alone solution that can work with any reservation system. Supporting major industry standards, it brings together the convenience and cost effectiveness of a web-based system without compromising power and functionality.

Crane DCS makes full use of the self-service concept to cut down costs. Passengers can make their seat selection and check-in on their own via internet or use the kiosks located in the airports.
