This has been hailed as one of the most successful implementation of PM Modi’s Digital India initiative. The concept of e-boarding was in pilot process between April-June, 2015 at Hyderabad airport, wherein 7000 international fliers availed this facility, and experienced a new way of check-in into the terminal. GMR Hyderabad International Airport Ltd, the company which operates Hyderabad’s airport, implemented this three-month e-boarding project, with the help of Jet Airways. Commissioner of Security Civil Aviation (CoSCA), Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), under the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) finally gave its approval to the process, after due security audits and checks.
