Panaji: Air transport information technology solutions provider SITA is looking to implement self-service baggage drop kiosks at airports across India.
While there are already self service check-in kiosks that allow passengers to get boarding passes, the baggage drop kiosks will let passengers print their own tags and drop the bags. The bags would be carried for loading and passengers would not be required to carry them to check-in counters. “We will be carrying out a pilot project at Mumbai and Bengaluru airports,” said Maneesh Jaikrishna, SITA vice-president, India.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is also keen to introduce the system and has issued a request for proposal for major airports such as Chennai and Kolkata. A team of AAI officials visited Melbourne and Singapore to check the processes followed in airports there.
