SVPI to get 3 new e-gates in order to cut entry time

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International (SVPI) airport in Ahmedabad will soon be a breeze. The city airport is set to launch three new e-gates at the entrance of the domestic terminal, Terminal 1.

This takes the total number of e-gates installed at the city airport to four, enabling passengers to swiftly check-in to the airport terminal through DigiYatra.

With the installation of these gates at Terminal 1, domestic travellers will be able to reduce check-in process from an average of one and a half hours to just 15 minutes.

DigiYatra’s biometric-based boarding process eliminates the need for physical document checks.

For frequent flyers and business travellers, the ability to move quickly through security and boarding processes can save precious time. The system’s efficiency also means less waiting time, reducing congestion at the terminal. 

The airport operator is also introducing two new self-baggage drop counters that will allow passengers who check-in in advance to drop off their luggage without manual assistance. This self-service feature speeds up the baggage handling process.

Recently, the airport also undertook the expansion of the international terminal, which is nearing completion.
