Kannur: Kannur International Airport has come up with the allegations that IndiGo Airlines is unwilling to use the BRS (Baggage Reconciliation System), which is causing loss for the airport, and if they are not willing to use it the airport company would not be able to continue their service.
According to KIAL authorities, IndiGo has been operating services from this airport since January 25, 2019, but they have refused to make use of the common facilities provided at the airport.
These services consist of Common user terminal equipment (Cute), Common-use self-service (Cuss) and BRS (Baggage reconciliation system), which are available for use by airlines as per Government of India regulations. But IndiGo is unwilling to use BRS, said KIAL in a press release.
“These services are made available by Sita, appointed by KIAL through global tender. All other airlines have made use of these services and signed agreement for this. But IndiGo had sought time to sign the agreement with Sita till February 22 2019. However, they have not come forward to sign the agreement during this period or thereafter,” said the release.
KIAL also said checking in passengers without using BRS is leading to avoidable delay and inconvenience for passengers.
IndiGo has been using BRS provided in all major airports like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Kochi by the respective airport company, and they are paying the airport companies for using this service. However, it is unwilling to use this service and pay for it in Kannur, it added.
