More self-service kiosks may soon be available at Changi Airport for travellers to do their own check-ins, The Straits Times reported. Now only Singapore Airlines and Northwest Airlines offer this service, where passengers to use the machines to pick their seats and print their boarding passes.
Those with check-in bags need to drop them off at stipulated counters.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore told The Straits Times that it would install up to 10 such machines in Terminal 1 by the end of next March if airlines using the place are keen.
To encourage take-up, the CAAS would provide the hardware and cover part of the usage costs, with the remaining costs shared among the carriers, the report said.
It is believed that as part of the proposal, carriers have to log a stipulated minimum number of check- ins.
British Airways, United Airlines, China Airlines, KLM, Air France and Cathay Pacific are among the airlines keen on providing their customers with the self-service option, the report said.
