Rajiv Gandhi International Airport and technology go hand in hand<\/strong>.

Smart Trolley \u2013 the best alternative to airport wheelchairs \u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

30% of passengers on India to US flights<\/a><\/span> alone request wheelchair assistance at Delhi and Mumbai airports, according to Air India. Most of them are able-bodied travelers with little to no mobility issues. Yet they ask for wheelchair service mainly because it helps them navigate international terminals, get priority baggage check-in, skip long queues, and deal with Hindi\/English-speaking staff. Though DGCA India directed airlines to provide wheelchair support as a paid service<\/a><\/span> to able-bodied passengers, Rajiv Gandhi Airport\u2019s smart trolleys can stop wheelchair abuse across airports in India.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
