You need at least a credit card or a ticket at those machines. BTW, these machines are guarded by a camera (at least that's wat it looks like), so compare the imges of the CCTV at the security checkpoint when the man ran away with the images of the camera at the Self-check-in machines, look for the ...

It's now official; Bravo Airlines took over the rights of Air Congo to organize flights from Brussels, Paris and Madrid to Kinshasa.
