Delhi International Airport Ltd introduced a new self-service mechanism to reduce the time passengers spend during the check-in process. The new process will help travelers to swiftly drop off their luggage, get baggage tags and print boarding passes within just 30 seconds.

The check-in process will be available with Air India, Air India Express and IndiGo.

How the automatic self-drop baggage machines works

You have to collect and attach their bag tags at CUSS kiosks located at the airport.
Bags are then placed onto the self-baggage drop (SBD) conveyor belt.
The system will open the airline’s application on the SBD machine with a single click.
Travellers will have to agree to the self-declaration form.
The system will check all relevant criteria and business rules defined by the airlines.
