Delhi Airport Introduces India’s First Self-Service Bag Drop Quick Drop Solution

Travellers flying out of Delhi Airport are set for a smoother and faster experience thanks to a revolutionary new technology: the Self-Service Bag Drop (SSBD) Quick Drop Solution.

This innovative system makes Delhi the first airport in India and the second in the world, after Toronto, Canada, to offer this time-saving service.

50 Self-Service Kiosks for Baggage Drop

Across Terminals 1 and 3, passengers can now utilize 50 SSBD units to expedite their check-in process. This initiative by Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) aims to significantly reduce wait times, allowing travellers to breeze through baggage drop and focus on enjoying their trip.

Print Boarding Passes and Tags at Kiosks

The traditional SSBD system allows passengers to bypass check-in counters altogether. Simply print your boarding pass and baggage tags at the conveniently located Common Use Self-Service (CUSS) kiosks. Then, head to the SSBD unit and scan your boarding pass or use the biometric camera for quick identification. This process typically takes around a minute.

Self-Service Baggage Drop in 4 Steps

1. Print: Grab your boarding pass and bag tags from a kiosk (if you haven’t checked in online).
2. Attach: Securely fasten the bag tags to your checked luggage.
3. Scan: Use the kiosk scanner to read your boarding pass or bag tag (depending on the system).
4. Drop & Go: Place your bag on the conveyor belt and head to security.
