Calcutta airport is finally doing away with a check-in system dating
back to the stone age of aviation: passengers queuing up to get their
registered luggage scanned.
Inline baggage X-ray, a facility that the Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad airports have had for years, is expected to be operational in the domestic section of the integrated terminal this summer.
An official said the Airports Authority of India had cleared the installation of an inline baggage X-ray system to replace the standalone X-ray machines. For a passenger, it means one queue less to board a flight.
Only the international section of the terminal currently has this facility. Inline baggage scanning was introduced for international flights in 2016, more than three years after the integrated terminal became operational.
The difference that a seamless inline system makes would be felt more in the domestic section because the number of passengers there far outnumber those in the international wing.
