Mumbai: If you fail to board after checking in at Mumbai airport, don’t expect the airline to call out your name and keep the flight waiting.
In keeping with international norms, the public address system at the domestic wing of the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport has been shut down. The idea is to check noise pollution, says Mumbai International Airport Limited.
“We can’t be minders for passengers, telling them what to do over a PA system all the time,” an MIAL official said.
“They know the flight timings — they’re on the display board. Any changes to the departure time or (designated) boarding gate are notified there. Nowhere in the world do people constantly blare out instructions over a PA system.”
