Abstract
A method of providing telecommunication service via a terminating device aboard an aircraft is disclosed and includes receiving data related to identification information included on an aircraft boarding pass at a boarding pass reader interface. The method also includes determining, based on the data, that a passenger identified by the boarding pass is a subscriber of a service to forward calls placed to a mobile terminal of the passenger to a terminating device accessible to the passenger aboard an aircraft associated with the boarding pass. The service is automatically activated with respect to the passenger when the identification information indicates that the service is to be activated.
