New Airport Entry Requirement for Passengers Departing from India

If you're travelling from India, it's important to be aware of a government requirement that affects all passengers departing from Indian airports, whether travelling on a domestic or international flight.

What has changed?

The Government of India now requires all passengers to present a boarding pass or travel document containing a scannable 2D barcode before they are permitted to enter the airport terminal.

Without a valid 2D barcode, passengers may be refused entry to the terminal building.

What you need to do

To help ensure a smooth and stress-free journey, we recommend that you:

• Check in online before travelling whenever possible. Online check-in typically opens 24 hours before departure.
• Download or print your boarding pass before arriving at the airport. Your boarding pass will contain the required 2D barcode for terminal access.
• If online check-in is not available, ensure you have the airline's pre-travel communication containing a valid scannable 2D barcode, if provided.

Our advice

We recommend arriving at the airport with your boarding pass or 2D barcode readily available, either on your mobile device or as a printed copy, to avoid any delays when entering the terminal.
