Not sure. It could be.

Sprint is still actively advertising the Aztec Code:

...and the IATA seems to be moving in adoption of the Aztec Code as well:

The IATA standard uses existing codes: Aztec and Datamatrix which are used extensively in Europe and North America; and QR which is widely used in Japan. All three are proven technologies and can be read by a single scanner type that is cost effective and readily available globally.

“The creation of a standard code is only part of the solution,” said Bisignani. “In the next months we will be working with our members to develop standardised processes and guidelines that facilitate global implementation.”

The industry has set a deadline of the end of 2010 to implement 100% bar coded boarding passes (BCBP).
