Delhi Metro Starts Luggage Check-in Service For International Passengers On Airport Line

Earlier, this service was available only to domestic travelers. However, DMRC has now extended this facility for international passengers flying with Air India and Vistara Airlines.

DMRC in its statement has said the initiative has been taken to enhance passenger convenience. It has said the service is aimed to streamline travel procedures for international flights from Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI).

According to the DMRC, the newly extended check-in counters became operational in the first week of June.

"The DMRC invites more airlines to set up this facility to further benefit travellers," the statement from DMRC said.

"In collaboration with Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), Air India, and Vistara Airlines, the DMRC is extending this service to facilitate easier check-in for international passengers at these key metro stations in Delhi," the statement added.

The service allows passengers to check in their luggage at these metro stations with their baggage securely transported to the aircraft using advanced automated systems, DMRC said.

It added this effort seeks to provide a seamless travel experience for passengers.

Air India passengers can access the service at New Delhi and Shivaji Stadium metro stations from 6 am to 9 pm, it said.
