Hyderabad airport gets approval to launch E-boarding

 

GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL) today announced that it has become India's first airport to get approval for implementation of end-to-end E-boarding for domestic passengers.

This automated facility promises a better environment as it is a paperless solution and requires lesser manual interface.

Implementation of a full scale E-boarding will be initiated soon at the airport for domestic passengers, the company said in a statement.

 

Following thorough assessment of the pilot e-boarding project implemented at the airport, the Commissioner of Security Civil Aviation (CoSCA), Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), under the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), has given the approval for the same, it said.

In the E-boarding solution a passenger will need only a mobile E-boarding card and his Aadhaar number to gain entry into the airport. A unique feature of the E-boarding facility is its compatibility with other conventional modes as well namely one can use the boarding card issued by CUSS (Common Use Self Service) machine or check-in counters also, the company said.
