Trivandrum: Thiruvananthapuram International Airport (TIAL) has installed 2D barcode scanners at the entry gates of the domestic terminal. This will ensure a hassle-free travel experience and also enhance security inside the airport terminal.
According to a press release from TIAL, “CISF officers manning terminal entry gates will scan the barcodes instead of manually checking the flight tickets. This helps to prevent congestion at the entry gate during peak hours, and during the holiday season. It helps save an average of 20-25 seconds per passenger. The 2D Barcode scanners aid passenger processing time at the departure entry, and thereby helps in improving passenger experience”.
The 2D barcode scanner also prevents passengers from entering the terminal using fake or cancelled flight tickets, thus enhancing security. It will be soon installed in the International terminal too. It is the airport’s committed vision to offer a memorable passenger experience by providing a high standard of comfort and convenience for its passengers.
TIAL has been at the forefront of developing infrastructure at the airport by enhancing passenger handling capacity and creating robust process management including E-gates. TIAL has also continually strived to deploy the latest technology that allows free flow in passenger movement. Passengers who use the web check-in feature before arriving at the airport will benefit from the expedited check-in process and avoid potential delays.
