Delhi airport has launched Express@DEL, a dedicated entry service for passengers travelling with only cabin baggage or no checked baggage. The facility, inaugurated on Friday by deputy CEO Manomad Rai, is available at all three terminals of Indira Gandhi International Airport. Eligible travellers who have completed web check-in and hold an e-boarding pass can skip standard check-in counters and proceed directly to security screening.
Gate numbers are: Terminal 1 Gate 5, Terminal 2 Gate 1, and Terminal 3 Gate 2. The service does not waive security or immigration checks. Business Today notes that passengers with checked luggage must continue using the existing entry and baggage-drop process.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Hindustan Times and Business Today report the Express@DEL launch as a neutral service improvement, with no political or ideological slant. Each outlet provides identical gate numbers and usage conditions. The coverage is uniform straight reporting. The practical implication is that Delhi airport continues to invest in passenger flow technology, a trend worth monitoring as traffic grows ahead of the upcoming festive season.
