Mumbai International airport put in place QR code-enabled check-in mechanism

Mumbai International airport has put in place a QR code-enabled contactless check-in mechanism for the passengers. Mumbai International Airport Limited said that the touch less technology solution is a vital step in reducing passenger contact with kiosk surfaces and is in full compliance with the civil aviation ministry's passenger processing guidelines. 

MIAL Chief Executive Officer Rajeev Jain said that the airport is focussed on delivering technology solutions that help customers quickly deliver a safe and smooth passenger journey.

 

The QR code-enabled contactless check-in facility at Mumbai International Airport allows passengers to



use their mobile phones to remotely operate check-in and self-bag drop kiosks for printing boarding passes and bag tags. Even before the pandemic, MIAL had introduced technologies like common use self-service check-in kiosks, self-baggage drop counters, and e-gates that allow passengers to scan their boarding pass to proceed to security check.

 

Meanwhile , state Health minister Rajesh Tope said that a special cell will be set up to check side effects in the patients who have recovered from COVID-19 infection. He also informed that Remdesivir medicine will be provided to COVID-19 patients at the expense of the state government.
