Now, alight from IndiGo Airbus faster with three stepladders on remote parking bays

NEW DELHI: The Indian air traveller, who is always in a tearing hurry to exit aircraft by standing up from his/her seat the moment or sometimes even before an aircraft comes to a halt, will now be able to do so quickly from IndiGo Airbus flights parked at remote bays where stepladders are used and not aerobridges.
The budget carrier on Thursday — its 16th anniversary — introduced a new “three point disembarkation” process that will enable passengers to exit its A320/321s faster. The new process will be carried out from two forward and one rear exit ramp.
IndiGo has conducted trials and says it has received “encouraging feedback” from customers. The cabin crew will make the necessary announcements to inform customers at the time of deboarding. This new disembarkation procedure will be implemented on IndiGo’s A320 and A321 fleet for flights arriving at remote stands at Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru airports to begin with, and will be progressively deployed across the network, the airline says.
