TBM Staff - Mumbai Kolkata’s Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport has rolled out self-baggage drop kiosks, enhancing convenience and streamlining the travel experience for passengers. This state-of-the-art service aims to reduce wait times at check-in counters and improve operational efficiency.
Passengers flying from Kolkata can now bypass traditional counters and manage their own baggage check-in. After completing the check-in process—either online or at the airport kiosks—they can use the self-baggage drop system to tag and deposit their luggage independently.
How It Works:
Check-In: Travellers must complete their check-in online or via airport kiosks.
Tag Luggage: Baggage tags can be printed at kiosks and securely attached to luggage.
Self-Drop: After placing luggage on the kiosk conveyor belt, passengers scan their boarding pass for verification.
Confirmation: The system automatically weighs the bag, ensures compliance with airline regulations, and confirms the drop.
The service is integrated with several airlines, including IndiGo, Air India, and SpiceJet, making it accessible to a majority of flyers.
Benefits for Travellers:
Reduced Waiting Times: The self-service option minimizes queues at check-in counters.
User-Friendly Design: Even first-time users can easily navigate the process with assistance available on-site.
24/7 Availability: The kiosks remain operational around the clock, catering to flights at any time of the day.
This initiative reflects Kolkata Airport’s commitment to adopting cutting-edge technology to enhance passenger convenience. Officials believe the self-baggage drop system will contribute significantly to easing congestion during peak travel hours.
Passengers are encouraged to check with their respective airlines for eligibility and guidelines related to the self-baggage drop service.
