Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) has introduced e-boarding gates across all three terminals of Delhi Airport for the passengers flying out of the city.
“ All boarding gates have contact-less e-boarding gates with boarding card scanners, which will allow passengers to flash their physical or e-boarding cards to verify flight details and once done, they can proceed for security checks,” DIAL Spokesperson said.
E-gates are empowered by touchless technologies. Passengers who have verified their boarding passes by scanning at the e-gates can simply walk past the e-boarding gates for security checks and then board a flight without having to show their documents”
again.
These E-boarding gates have been set up at Terminal 3 and Terminal 2 and deployment is in progress at Terminal T1. These include dual lane, wide lane and normal lane e-gates.
A dual lane e-gate consists of a wide lane and a normal lane e-gates placed side-by-side. While a wide lane e-gate allows passengers carrying wide luggage / passengers with reduced mobility (PRM) to pass through it easily, passengers carrying only the hand baggage can walk through the normal lane e-gates.
The touchless procedure not only minimizes touching of facility surfaces and people interaction under
Covid-19, but also shortens the boarding time.
DIAL has also installed e-processing kiosks at T2 entry gates and over the next few weeks, these would be installed at Terminal 3 andTerminal 1.
