Goldstar Air will be printing boarding passes, inflight magazines, baggage tags, and countless documents that will keep our 24/7 flights running smoothly and other auxiliary services and the airline will rely on a robust print procurement strategy. Every checked bag also requires a printed tag for identification and tracking.
In 2023, the global airline boarding pass market was valued at 4.8 billion dollars and is projected to reach 9.1 billion dollars by 2032 with a compound annual growth of 7.5 percent. Demands for airline boarding passes are expected to increase significantly due to rising air travel demand and the rising adoption of self-service check-in kiosks.

With billions of passengers flying each year and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) estimating global passenger traffic to reach 8.2 billion by 2037, this will translate to a massive volume of printed materials and an advantage for printing industry businesses in Ghana to create more employment and justifying the airline drive towards over one million indirect jobs.

Having physical printouts is admittedly easier and requires less transitioning back and forth from the screen when imputing and checking data. The airline will also send pilots digital copies of the flight plan that will be accessible on tablets.
In an age of digital solutions, Goldstar Air pilots will still need paper documents because the paperwork contains critical performance numbers for the aircraft’s departure and will also make an app-based calculation our primary method for obtaining performance data. Specifically, the passenger load, aircraft weight, trim settings for the horizontal stabilizer, flap settings, and engine thrust ratings are displayed on one or multiple sheets of paper that come off the flight deck printer. Some airlines allow their crews to start taxing towards the departure runway with just the passenger count alone, while others require all the performance data to be obtained by the pilots before pushing back.
Once we get our final paperwork, we will be ready to close the doors and get underway. Even if you have only flown a handful of times, you have probably heard the captain say something along these lines during their preflight welcome announcement.
Airline boarding passes have traditionally been physical documents but in recent years there has been an increasingly prevalent trend towards electronic boarding passes which can be accessed on a passenger’s mobile device or emailed directly to them. Electronic boarding passes have become increasingly popular due to the convenience for passengers, cost savings for airlines, and environmental concerns.
Passengers no longer need to wait in line for physical boarding passes to be collected, additionally, electronic boarding passes reduce printing expenses for airlines as well as paper waste production. Another trend in the airline boarding pass market is the implementation of biometric technology. Some airlines are testing facial recognition or fingerprint scanning to confirm passengers’ identities at various points during boarding.
