Passengers flying out of Kempegowda International Airport will no longer have to stand in long queues for check-in as the airport operator plans to implement a system that allows passengers to print their own boarding passes as well as baggage tags from June.
Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) has signed a seven-year contract with global aviation IT firm SITA to implement such a system. It includes SITA’s passenger processing platform AirportConnect Open, the latest self-service check-in kiosks and baggage reconciliation service BagManager, the release said.
“We chose SITA because we wanted a single supplier that could provide a complete passenger processing platform and baggage reconciliation system and also help us implement the new Common Use Self Service kiosk (CUSS) platform with both bag tag and boarding pass options,” Hari Marar, BIAL President (airport operations), said.PTI
