The LYDIA DCS is trusted by airlines, airports, and ground handlers around the world to process the
entire airport operation for passenger handling. From check-in, APIS capture & submission, and
selling of services to boarding and post-flight messaging, LYDIA DCS has you covered.
The LYDIA check-in system is accessible by all LYDIA customers from any location across a standard
internet connection. The advanced DCS functionality allows airlines to process passengers and
dispatch flights easily with very little training of the airline staff. The system is fully compatible with
other airline systems for both importing and exporting passenger data providing the airline with a
fully functional and connected system.
LYDIA has great experience in delivering easy-to-use DCS products which are fully integrated with
other airline and airport systems.
With a full graphical user interface, the system provides a very easy-to-use and rapid tool for airport
staff to check in passengers and their baggage producing boarding passes and bag tags in any
format.
A graphical seat map shows the check-in agents which seats are available and allows them to select
multiple seats for groups.
APIS - Advance Passenger Information
The LYDIA DCS has a comprehensive Advanced Passenger Information System which allows your
airline to collect passport details from passengers and transmit them to the relevant authorities for
your routes. Fully integrated into the core database passenger passports can be scanned and stored
within seconds at the airport. The APIS module is also fully integrated with the online booking engine
allowing your passengers to enter details online.
The internet booking engine can be configured by the airline to allow online check-in at any pre-
defined time prior to the flight. The configuration is set up by departing city so you may want to
allow online check-in up to 24 hours in advance of the flight for those airports where you send
Passenger Name Lists 24 hours prior to the flight.
Because both the online check-in and LYDIA DCS are fully integrated and working from the same E-
ticket database any changes made in either system are immediately visible in both systems. So when
a passenger check-in online at home the check-in staff can see straight away that they are marked as
check-in online.
In order to check a passenger has to input reservation data into the application and choose a seat in
the aircraft’s cabin. If reservation data are received by passengers via e-mail then the Lydia DCS
application will find reservation data itself when it will become possible (usually 24 hours prior to the
departure).
Lydia DCS has data on airlines’ baggage transportation norms depending on the class of service, thus
during check-in of a passenger with the baggage of excess weight or dimensions, the system
automatically marks him in the database as a passenger who has to pay for additional service. The
passenger has to pay for extra baggage weight otherwise he will not be permitted to enter the
special control zone. This payment can be made at the special counter with an installed workplace
«Cashier for excess baggage payment» that prints standard MCO (Miscellaneous Charges Order)
forms.
