The Kempegowda International Airport has opened a new entry gate (Gate No. 5) exclusively for air passengers with a printed boarding pass and only hand baggage.
A release from the airport states that passenger with trolleys and wheelchairs will not have access to this gate.
“With nearly 55,000 passengers departing from BLR airport on a daily basis, this dedicated gate promises to improve throughput and reduce wait time at the security check point. Currently, the number of passengers travelling with only hand-baggage constitutes 23% of total departure traffic, and the count is surging upwards. Passengers will benefit from a quicker passage through security checkpoints,” states the release.
