Srinagar airport gets free e-cart facility for passengers to reduce delays

A drop-and-go facility was introduced by the Airport Authority of India (AAI) at the Srinagar International Airport on Saturday in the wake of long-standing grievances about delays and hassles for entry.

The state-of-art, environment-friendly e-carts facility was flagged off by AAI director, Srinagar Airport, Javed Anjum.

Officials said personal frisking and vehicle and baggage checking is a time-consuming process due to which passengers entering the airport were facing delays, they said.

At times, the passengers had to be advised to come to the airport four hours in advance to avoid missing their flights. However, despite such precautions, there were frequent complaints of passengers missing their flights, the officials said.
