The web portal will function as a singular source of information
Passengers who have various queries and doubts about what are the dos and don'ts while travelling on a flight through Mumbai, can now avail all the necessary information regarding aspects such as pre-travel norms, departures, arrivals - and even the number of airport safety measures taken - at their fingertips, by simply logging onto an online web portal.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) has joined hands with the Airports Council International (ACI) to create this web portal to apprise passengers with information to ensure an "anxiety-free and seamless journey" and to keep them "updated on the latest health and safety procedures followed at various airports."
Passengers travelling through Mumbai can access end-to-end information on health measures adopted by the CSMIA and other airports. They can get a better understanding on the procedures to be followed at each airport. The portal also aims at providing data on facilities and services available at the airport terminal, and equips passengers with all the necessary pre-trip information beforehand, so that they can have a smooth journey.
Mumbai's CSMIA is one of the 200 international airports to have joined hands with the ACI to function as a "singular source of information" for passengers regarding the different safety measures and quarantine regulations across different countries. In the wake of the pandemic, the new online portal aims to guide passengers with the latest information during these challenging times, keeping in mind that there are continuous changes in travel norms and regulations by various countries.
