New Delhi: Standing in serpentine queues at check-in counters will soon be history for domestic air travellers. The government has asked airport operators to have kiosks where passengers can on their own drop in their check-in bags by filling details and putting up labels.
The concept is modelled on a leading low cost carrier installing self check-in kiosks where passengers print boarding cards on their own, without standing in queues. But this queue-buster is opted for mainly by those who have no check-in baggage. Now with baggage kiosks also on the way, domestic flyers may soon have no need to line up at check-in counters.
"We are working on the baggage self check-in machines. These would be installed at 10 to 13 of our major airports. Bengaluru airport will be experimenting this soon," Airports Authority of India (AAI) chairman R K Srivastava told TOI.
