To incentivise flyers who travel light, the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru has opened a new entry gate - Gate No. 5 - exclusively for passengers with a printed boarding pass and only hand baggage. This gate will not be accessible to passenger trolleys and wheelchairs.
The airport, in a statement, said that this measure was in continuation of its innovative services and products to ensure a hassle-free and delightful travel experience for its passengers.
“The opening of a new gate exclusively for passengers travelling with hand baggage will further improve the overall operational efficiency of the Airport. Passengers will benefit from a quicker passage through the security checkpoints,” the airport said.
With nearly 55,000 passengers flying out from the city airport on a daily basis, this dedicated gate promises to improve throughput and reduce the wait time at the security checkpoint. Currently, the number of passengers travelling with only hand-baggage constitutes 23% of total departure traffic and the number has gradually increased.
