Delhi airport launches e-boarding facility to cut queues, and ensure distancing

E-boarding gates with boarding pass scanners have come up at all terminals to allow passengers verify their flight details and proceed directly for security checks.“Passengers who have verified their boarding passes at the scanners can simply walk past the e-boarding gates for security checks and then board a flight without having to show their documents again. This will help save time, and cut passenger queues at the airport,” a DIAL spokesperson said.

These gates have been set up at Terminal 3 and Terminal 2, and deployment is in progress at Terminal T1, the spokesperson added. The gates have different sizes to accommodate all kinds of passengers such as those who are travelling with large bags, those who are moving on wheel chair and others, he added.
