Passengers flying out of the Lohegaon Airport with minimal baggage now have a reason to smile as they don’t need to stand in a queue any more. The airport has got its first self check-in kiosk.
Union Minister for Environment and Forests (EoMF) Prakash Javadekar inaugurated the facility on Thursday. Passengers travelling with cabin baggage can directly check into the airport. Airport authorities said that this might save up to 10 to 15 minutes of every passenger.
Airport Director Manoj Gangal said, “The check-in kiosk has become functional from today. It would prove helpful in saving time of the passengers as well as reducing the load on the other kiosks as there is considerable proportion of fliers who carry cabin baggage and will use the self check-in kiosk. Internationally, all the airports have this facility. We have now initiated it on pilot basis and will launch more kiosks in the future.”
Javadekar said that the airport will need at least 4 to 5 such kiosks to meet the demands of over 1,500 passengers who use the airport daily.
