DELHI- In a move aimed at enhancing the customer experience, Air India (AI) has introduced an integrated self-baggage drop and self-kiosk check-in service at Terminal 3 of Delhi Airport (DEL) for both domestic and international flights.
This makes Air India the first Indian carrier to offer such a service.

Currently, this service is available for all flights bound for Australia as well as for all domestic flights within India.
Air India passengers can now take advantage of a seamless digital process that enables them to print boarding passes and baggage tags and independently drop off their bags without the need for traditional check-in at the counters.
Additionally, these kiosks allow travelers to customize their trips by selecting preferred seats and updating frequent flyer numbers, among other options.
Executive Insights
Rajesh Dogra, Chief Customer Experience and Ground Handling Officer at Air India expressed, “This service eliminates the need to wait in queues for check-in at counters, allowing travelers to navigate the airport easily. We plan to expand this service for flights to more countries worldwide and introduce it at other airports within India and major international airports. Our ongoing commitment is to simplify processes and enhance the customer experience, ensuring that our passengers enjoy their travel experience as much as we love flying them.”
With the successful implementation of the DigiYatra initiative for domestic flights, the self-baggage drop facility further enhances the convenience for travelers, from facilitating hassle-free entry to the airport to enabling them to manage the check-in process independently.
Earlier this week, Air India introduced ‘Project Abhinandan,’ deploying specially trained Service Assurance Officers at 16 major Indian airports to proactively identify passenger concerns and provide on-ground assistance at various airport touchpoints.
