Bangalore, 21March 2024: Air India, India’s leading global airline, will be offering Self-Service Check-in and Self Baggage Drop facilities for its passengers travelling to San Francisco from the Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru .

Self Check in by passengers at BLR airport

The facility is already available for the domestic flights of Air India from the airport and plans are underway to extend this service to Singapore and Male, the two other international destinations Air India operates to from Bengaluru.

The automated initiative will offer a smooth and seamless airport experience to a large number of our tech-savvy guests travelling from Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India, to the US Silicon Valley – the tech hub of the world.

Inaugurating the facility, Donald Hunter, Head Global Airport Operations and Ground Handling, Air India, said, “We are focussed on elevating customer experience at every touchpoint. This facility eliminates waiting time for check-in at the counters and offers our passengers a smooth pre-boarding experience. We have plans to extend this facility for our flights at more Indian and global airports.” Senior officials from BIAL, CISF and Air India were present on the occasion.

The automated self check-in and baggage drop facilities will offer Air India passengers a seamless experience from printing boarding passes or baggage tags, and dropping their baggage at designated slots on their own, obviating the need to check in over the counters. This will not only save precious time and ensure a seamless check-in experience for our passengers but also offer them more freedom to enjoy their travel experience. Passengers can now customise their trips by selecting their preferred seats, if available, update frequent flyer details, and enjoy other facilities from the kiosk itself.

Earlier, Air India had introduced an integrated self-baggage drop and self-kiosk check-in service at Terminal 3, Delhi airport for domestic and only Australia-bound international flights.

The national flag carrier is sparing no effort to make travel effortless in these turbulent times, be it through their seamless domestic and international network, state-of-the-art fleet, extra baggage allowance, comfortable seats or competitive pricing.

The market share of Air India has gone up by 11.7% in February 2021, while the load factor has gone up by 12% between January and February this year. At the core, Air India is working towards becoming your #TrueTravelPartner, which hinges on its offerings to the fliers. During any crisis, Air India is known to always rise to the occasion to stand by the nation and its people, when it is needed the most.

Tier-2 cities and regions in the North-East, Ladakh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which were an ordeal to access earlier, are now connected by Air India and its subsidiaries. The airliner also offers 25 kg free baggage allowance on Economy Class, in the domestic sector across fare levels.

Air India always aims to go that extra mile for passenger convenience. The traveler gets a smooth and memorable experience enabled by seamless connectivity, maximum free baggage allowance in the economy class, comfortable seats with ample legroom, fresh inflight cuisine, support from staff, convenient pet-carrier option and benefits of web-booking.

Rewards are also offered to incentivize travelers while ensuring complete safety in compliance to the State and Centre’s COVID advisory.

Air India played a pivotal role in standing by the Nation right from the outset of the pandemic evacuating people stranded all over the world under the government’s Vande Bharat Mission and Air Transport Bubble arrangements. It has been flying relentlessly transporting about 3 million people till date, braving all the challenges of the pandemic. In every sense of the word and ethos, Air India is your #TrueTravelPartner.
