ICC SYDNEY PILOTS CHECK-IN

A MOBILE airline check-in and baggage drop service was piloted last week at the ICC Sydney, making it the first venue of its kind in Australia to trial the service.

Delivered in partnership with Off Airport Check In Solutions (OACIS), the test took place at the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia conference last week.

The conference was attended by 2,000 delegates.

ICC Sydney ceo Geoff Donaghy said the successful pilot marked another moment of innovation for the venue.

“Our pilot with OACIS was a success on all fronts and with more than 1,000 events secured until 2026, it could be a game changer for our clients, delegates and visitors,” he said.

The service enables international and interstate delegates to check-in and drop off their luggage at an OACIS counter within ICC Sydney on the final day of the conference or incentive.

This will allow delegates to travel to Sydney Airport luggage-free and not have to collect their bags until they reach their final destination.

The OACIS system uses cloudbased technology to integrate with airline check-in systems.

OACIS ceo Matt Lee said it was a significant milestone for the company to trial the system.

“Our market research has revealed business travellers are keen to embrace off-airport check-in services using their personal technology,” said Lee.

MEANWHILE, ICC Sydney has debuted its American Express Lounge on Level 4 at the ICC Theatre Sydney.

To enter the lounge outside of the theatre, guests will need to present their American Express card on arrival.
