Mumbai airport introduces QR-code based contactless check-in

MUMBAI: Mumbai airport has introduced a QR-code based technology to provide passengers with a contactless check-in experience at the airport, said Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) on Tuesday.
The Mumbai airport is the first in India to provide the facility, MIAL said. “The airport has added a touch-less feature to its self-check-in kiosks whereby passengers can use their own phone to scan the QR code in order to remotely self-check in, thus minimizing surface contact in the course of their journey,” the airport said, adding that it has deployed SITA’s “touchless technology solution” in full compliance with the ministry of civil aviation’s passenger processing guidelines.
“The technology is a vital step in reducing passenger contact with kiosk surfaces and allows them to use their mobile phones to remotely operate check-in and self-bag drop kiosks to print their boarding passes and bag tags. Passengers need to scan the QR code shown on the kiosks to access a remote keyboard and mouse on their mobile device, without touching the kiosks,” said MIAL.
