GMR Hyderabad International Airport gets nod for e-boarding facility

NEW DELHI: GMR Hyderabad International Airport has received approval for implementing end-to-end e-boarding for domestic passengers.

After an assessment of the pilot e-boarding project, the Commissioner of Security Civil Aviation (CoSCA), Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has given the approval, GMR said in a statement today.

Once fully implemented, a passenger would need only a mobile e-boarding card and his Aadhaar number to gain entry into the airport.

"The e-boarding system at Hyderabad airport also removes the necessity of stamping the boarding cards, for passengers who carry physical boarding cards," the statement said.

GMR Hyderabad International Airport's CEO SGK Kishore said it is the first airport in the country to get approval for E-boarding facility.
