KOLKATA: The Kolkata airport is now geared to roll out the biometric boarding system (BBS) with technicians completing installation of all equipment and testing of hardware.
The system that will allow paperless and seamless travel experience is expected to be commissioned sometime in November after the software platform is tested and receives the go-ahead from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security.
“The BBS equipment for phase I rollout — registration and self check-in kiosks and automated gates — have been installed in the domestic terminal and their hardware has been thoroughly checked. Installation of phase II equipment is currently underway and should be over this month.
