Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has launched an initiative to enhance passenger convenience. This includes check-in facilities for international flights at New Delhi and Shivaji Stadium metro stations of the Airport Express Line. In collaboration with Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), Air India and Vistara Airlines, DMRC is expanding its ‘Check-in & Baggage-Drop’ service for international passengers. This facility was earlier available only to domestic passengers. Now international passengers taking flights of Air India and Vistara Airlines will be able to check in their luggage at metro stations.
Other airlines also invited
DMRC has invited more airlines to join this initiative. Delhi Metro aims to provide more benefits to passengers. Passengers can check in their luggage at New Delhi and Shivaji Stadium metro stations, from where it will be safely delivered to the aircraft using advanced automated systems. This service eliminates the need for passengers to carry their luggage through the airport, thereby simplifying their travel experience.
What are the check-in timings?
The check-in service is available for Air India passengers at New Delhi and Shivaji Stadium metro stations from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm. Vistara Airlines passengers can avail this service at New Delhi Metro station from 6:00 am to 8:00 pm every day. Passengers on international flights can complete their check-in between four hours and three hours before departure. Passengers on domestic flights can check-in between twelve hours and two hours before the flight departure time.
Where are the check-in counters?
The airline check-in counters at New Delhi Metro station are located at the concourse level. The airline check-in counters at Shivaji Stadium Metro station are located near the VFS Global office at the concourse level. The new service has already received an encouraging response from passengers. This initiative is part of DMRC’s continued commitment to find innovative solutions to meet the changing needs of its passengers. The service, which began in the first week of June, aims to streamline travel processes for international passengers departing from Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI), New Delhi.
