Leading low-cost carrier IndiGo has started charging ₹100 from passengers for checking-in at airport counters from today (17th Oct 2020), Time of India reported.

The airline has taken this step in a bid to get more passengers to do web check-in for a contactless travel experience in these pandemic times.

IndiGo has become first Indian carrier to introduce such connivance charges.

With India’s biggest airline (in terms of domestic market share) levying this fee, it is just a matter of time before most other carriers here also do the same.
