Jetstar uses RFID for safety checks

Australasia’s Jetstar Airways has drastically cut the time required to check on-board safety equipment by using a new Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) solution. “We have a range of on-board safety equipment that must be regularly checked and tested by our engineers and our previous manual inspections could take up to 10 man-hours,” says David Lau, Jetstar Australia and New Zealand head of engineering.
