Arrangements have been made in order to ensure social distancing and avoid crowding.&nbspThe airport will have 38 check-in counters across the five domestic carriers which will help avoid overcrowding. 

For a hassle-free check-in process, without direct contact with the authorities, CSMIA has installed eight Common Use Self Service (CUSS) kiosks on the curbside of the terminal. The kiosks would help passengers to generate their baggage check before proceeding for security check. Passengers can also use them for printing their boarding pass.

The airport also provides access to RT-PCR tests for a cost of Rs. 850.
