Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport now has touchless self-service at Terminal 2.
Passengers can use their mobile phone as a remote control to avoid touching the self-service check-in kiosk.
They use their mobile or tablet to scan a QR code on the kiosk. This creates a mobile keyboard and mouse on the the mobile or tablet.
Passengers use their mobile device as a trackpad to control check-in and self-bag drop kiosks.
