Passengers traveling through Hamad International Airport (HIA) can get real-time flight updates, information about baggage reclaim and directions to their boarding gates through a new app, the airport said.
The iBeacon app, currently only available in iOS but set to launch on Android in the coming months, is activated by scanning a boarding card and has the option of including a location detector. It can also send notifications of promotions as passengers walk past stores, HIA said in a statement. iPad and iPhone users can download the app here.
