Delhi airport will relocate ultraviolet tunnels installed outside the departure terminal to sanitize passengers’ luggage amid the Covid-19 pandemic to the inline baggage handling system, its operator DIAL said on Thursday.
Once the new system is put in place, passengers will not have to queue up at the departure forecourt area and go through manual loading and unloading of baggage.
Before resumption of domestic passenger flights in May, the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) had installed eight UV tunnels outside the entry gates in the departure forecourt area of Terminal 3.
“Flyers used to sanitize their baggage before entering the terminal to board their flight. The decision to shift these UV tunnels was taken after passenger queues were observed during peak hours,” the GMR group-led DIAL said in a press statement.
