Recently, the GMR Hyderabad International Airport has come up with the Self-Baggage Drop facility near Gate Entry Number 9.
The international airport has installed eight fully automated self-baggage machines in order to fully enhance the efficiency and seamless travel.
Further, these machines are equipped with scanners, scales, and sensors hence enabling the passengers to complete their baggage check-in facility in just 45-60 seconds.
While talking about the new service, Mr Pradeep Panicker, CEO, GHIAL said, “We are happy to add another convenience of the new self-baggage facility for passengers transiting through the Hyderabad airport. This will further ease travel and enhance their travel experience. The technology integration of the self-bag drop and check-in process makes travel faster and simpler. As we continue to invest in new- age technologies, we remain committed to provide a delightful travel experience for all our passengers.”
How Does It Work?
To start with, the travelers will have to approach a self check-in kiosk at Hyderabad Airport to print the boarding pass.
While doing so, they need the baggage option and provide the details such as the number of bags, weight and print the bag tag.
After tagging the luggage, the passengers need to proceed to the self-bag drop unit.
There, they need to place the baggage on the conveyor belt and scan the barcode on their boarding pass to initiate the bag drop process.
Basically, the self-bag drop unit is meant to perform the checks on the bag.
When everything is in order, it processes the bag and sends a confirmation to the airline.
In case, the baggage does not meet the required criteria then the self-bag drop unit rejects it.
It will further prompt the passenger to seek assistance from a check-in agent.
The passenger will need to approach the baggage counter of the airline in case of excess baggage.
For the first time this self-baggage drop facility has been rolled out for Indigo Airlines passengers traveling to Bangalore and Chennai.
