The Kempegowda International Airport has revamped its services with the Bangalore International Airport Limited’s (BIAL) introduction of a contact-less journey
As domestic flights resumed earlier last month, airports have had to adapt to the changing health guidelines. In a bid to provide a safe travel experience to both passengers and staff, the Kempegowda International Airport has revamped its services with the Bangalore International Airport Limited’s (BIAL) introduction of a Parking-to-Boarding contactless journey.
Parking tickets will be dispensed electronically and payments made digitally. The cash and card payments will require extra caution. The process begins at the terminal gates where the doormats are soaked in bleach to disinfect footwear going in and out of the terminal. Face masks are mandatory, as are carrying pre-printed or e-boarding passes. Along with the usual checking of the boarding pass and a government-issued photo ID (through a magnified glass screen or using electronic equipment), you will also need to show the “You are safe” message on the Aarogya Setu app, and undergo thermal screening.
Self-service kiosks will be the norm hereon, and for those of you who hate waiting in check-in lines, this comes as a blessing in disguise. We’re grasping at the silver lining here, folks. It’s been quite a year. Anyway, back to your regular programming. Luggage tags printed, head to your airline’s bag drop counter. For the uninitiated, the airport also has an assisted option. For now, only one handbag and one check-in bag is allowed, as per the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) mandate.
The baggage drops are installed with transparent partitions, safety distance markers, sensors to scan boarding passes, and you’ll have to flash your ID again for the airline to accept your baggage. For the airlines with Self Bag-Drops, on duty staff will ensure that passengers don’t come in contact with the machines.
