Mangalore International Airport & IndiGo Successfully Innovate Speedy Disembarkation of Passengers

The Mangalore International Airport in collaboration with IndiGo innovated on the airline’s unique ‘three-point disembarkation system’ recently. The innovation, supervised by the airside operations team of the airport, involved the use of a passenger boarding bridge (aero-bridge) and two ramps in place of three ramps – two forward and one rear, used by IndiGo previously. The airline had introduced this system to mark its 16th anniversary.

IndiGo this June 14 successfully carried out the three-point disembarkation at Mangalore International Airport for the first time. The difference was that the airline on that occasion had used three ramps. This collaboration is also in line with the vision of promoters of the airport to be a vital cog in nation building as it enables the airline partners improve their operational efficiencies and punctuality and boost their one-time performance.

IndiGo in August 2022 started this new disembarkation procedure on its A320 and A321 fleet for flights arriving at remote stands at Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru airports to begin with. The airline has since gone on to progressively deploy this disembarkation system across its network.
