The Hindu Business Line : Jet to offer `kiosk check-in' from June 1

Initially five kiosks would be installed at the Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore airports. At the end of the first phase, the airline hopes to have 30 kiosks in place at metro airports.

The facility would be available for domestic flights; Jet plans to extend the facility to its overseas flights. While airports are the preferred location, the kiosks can be positioned elsewhere too.

However, this check-in mode is restricted to E-tickets. The Internet accounts for 20 per cent of Jet's overall ticketing and its share would go up once authorities permit travel agents also to issue E-tickets in another month or so. The installation of kiosks as an additional check-in point was deliberately timed to coincide with the imminent bigger share of E-tickets, officials said at a press briefing.

When a customer uses kiosk check-in, the system performs a name check, verifies the PNR, allows selection of seat and prints a boarding pass.
