RFID (radio frequency identification devices) technology can bring substantial benefits to the Air Transport Community in the form of cost reductions, improvements in productivity, customer services and safety, but also as a means to generate new revenues.

This is a risk that can be substantially reduced through the introduction of a shared infrastructure and service.
