Bangalore: Bengaluru International Airport’s (BIA) long wish to become the first airport in India to start mobile check-in services for passengers is unlikely to become a reality for now.
The Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), the operator of the airport who have been proposing to start mobile check-in services inorder to have a seamless check-in process for passengers, are yet to get clearance from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS).
“The BCAS is yet to approve mobile check-in process at airports in India. BIAL is continuously pursuing this matter with them,” airport officials told DNA. Ministry of civil aviation officials said the BCAS, which is the regulatory authority for civil aviation security in India, is yet to give clearance as it is still reviewing if the mobile check-in services system is foolproof.
