Hyderabad Airport Introduces Self-Baggage Drop Facility

Hyderabad Airport has taken a significant step towards enhancing efficiency and simplifying the travel experience for passengers by launching a self-baggage drop facility near entry gate number 9. With the installation of eight fully-automated self-baggage machines, equipped with advanced scanners, scales, and sensors, the airport aims to expedite the check-in process.

Initially, this convenient feature is available exclusively for Indigo passengers traveling to Bangalore and Chennai. According to the airport authorities, passengers can now complete their baggage check-in in an impressive time frame of 45 to 60 seconds.

Passengers can approach a self-check-in kiosk to print their boarding pass and select the baggage option. At the kiosk, they can provide all the necessary details and print the bag tag. After tagging their baggage, passengers can proceed to the self-bag drop unit. They simply need to place their baggage on the conveyor belt and scan the barcode on their boarding pass to initiate the process. The unit then performs a check on the baggage, and if everything meets the requirements, it processes the bag and sends a confirmation to the respective airline.

In the event that the baggage does not meet the necessary criteria, the unit rejects it, and a check-in agent is available to assist the passenger. For cases of excess baggage, passengers are directed to approach the airline’s dedicated baggage counter.

Pradeep Panicker, CEO of GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited, expressed his satisfaction with the addition of the self-baggage facility, stating, “We are happy to add another convenience of the new self-baggage facility for passengers transiting through the Hyderabad airport. The technology integration of the self-drop bag and check-in process makes travel faster and simpler.”

The introduction of the self-baggage drop facility at Hyderabad Airport not only aims to streamline the check-in process but also reflects the airport’s commitment to leveraging advanced technology to enhance passenger convenience. It is expected that this innovative feature will contribute to a seamless travel experience for passengers, allowing them to save time and enjoy a hassle-free journey.
