“The DMRC invites more airlines to set up this facility,” it added. The check-in counters became operational in the first week of June.

Passengers will now be able to check in their luggage at these Metro stations and their luggage will be securely transported to the aircraft using advanced automated systems. The service is available for Air India passengers at New Delhi and Shivaji Stadium Metro stations from 6 am to 9 pm, and for Vistara Airlines passengers at New Delhi from 6 am to 8 pm everyday.

Passengers can check in anytime between 12 and two hours before the departure of their domestic flight and between four hours and three hours for international flights.

At the New Delhi Metro Station, airline check-in counters are located at the concourse level, while at the Shivaji Stadium Metro Station, the counters are situated adjacent to the VFS Global Office at the concourse level, it said.
