What is a pilot scheme?

A pilot scheme is a small-scale trial of a new system or idea before it is fully implemented. In this story, the digital passenger card was first tested on Qantas flights arriving in specific cities. This allows for evaluation and adjustments to be made, ensuring the system works effectively before a wider rollout across all international airports and seaports.
