NFC Times Take: 

Organizers say the trial will be a first for putting airport security passes on SIM cards in NFC phones. The trial, however, does not store mobile boarding passes or frequent flyer numbers on the SIM. That could come later, with airline IT provider SITA and partners developing NFC applications that it hopes one day could replace 2-D bar codes to speed passengers through airport security and gates. SITA plans to help launch an NFC test likely involving mobile boarding passes with a major airline later this summer.
