No check-in counters for Airport Line yet

New Delhi: Passengers using the showcase Airport Express Line may not be able to check in their bags at the City Airport Terminals (CATs) when the line opens in September since not a single airline as come forward to set up check-in counters. This, when barely a month is left for the opening of the line. 
While Reliance Infrastructure, the concessionaire of the line, claims that the counters are ready but airlines are not coming forward to occupy them, the airlines claim that it is an expensive proposition. The civil aviation ministry has intervened and a meeting was called to discuss the issue on Friday. 
The construction of the stations, along with the line and systems, is being paced up to ensure timely completion. But if the issue is not resolved soon, passengers using the high-speed line to reach the airport terminal T3 will not be able to check in their baggage and get boarding tickets at the metro stations (CATs).
