Air India has introduced check-in and baggage drop services at two stations of the Delhi Metro for international passengers. The facility has been launched for passengers at the New Delhi and Shivaji Stadium metro stations in collaboration with Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and Delhi International Airport (DIAL). With this, foreign travellers will be able to easily tour Delhi without being burdened by their heavy bags.
Their bags will reach the aircraft through a modern system jointly developed by DMRC and DIAL. The service is currently available to passengers on domestic journeys. Air India has now also made it available to foreign passengers.
This service is available at the New Delhi and Shivaji Stadium metro stations from 7 am to 9 pm. Domestic passengers can check in from two hours to 12 hours before departure and international travellers from two hours to four hours before departure. Delhi Metro, which has a metro train service every ten minutes, takes only 19 minutes to reach Terminal 3 of the Delhi Airport.
Rajesh Dogra, Chief Customer Experience Officer, Air India said, "Our collaboration with DMRC and DIAL will help provide a better travel experience to the passengers. Such facilities can cut the expenses for passengers and reduce congestion at the airport. The new service will be helpful to passengers just like DG Yatra and self baggage drop machines at airport terminals”.
