Mangaluru: With a view to minimize physical contact between the staff and the passengers, Mangalore International Airport has introduced contactless concept.

Earlier, boarding pass, ticket and documents were to be presented to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel before entering the airport. Now, it is enough if the documents are shown to the person sitting inside the glass counter from outside. The baggage tags are not issued but sent by SMS.

The passengers at the security check counter should show their boarding passes to the cameras and those who do not have passes can scan their barcode in the mobile and get printed passes. The trays in which the belongings of passengers like mobile phones, purses, etc are kept for security check, are not touched by hand. Trays once used are sanitized before reuse.
