Srinagar, J&K:
In a major relief for air travelers, Srinagar International Airport, in collaboration with India Post, has launched a budget-friendly and hassle-free excess baggage solution. The service allows passengers to send their extra luggage through India Post’s parcel service at just ₹40 per kilogram.
This initiative is a game changer for those who often struggle with hefty excess baggage charges levied by airlines — often ranging from ₹500 to ₹750 per kg.
Key Highlights:
- ✅ Affordable rate of ₹40/kg
- ✅ Reliable & trackable delivery through India Post
- ✅ Home delivery at the passenger’s doorstep
- ✅ Available directly at Srinagar Airport post office counter
Passengers with excess baggage can now visit the India Post counter located within the airport premises. The staff weighs, packs, and ships the luggage to the desired destination through India Post’s registered parcel service. Each parcel comes with a tracking number, ensuring safety and transparency.
This service is not only cost-effective but also a boon for students, tourists, and families traveling with multiple bags.
The initiative has received applause across social media and among passengers.
“Huge shoutout to @SrinagarAirport & @IndiaPostOffice! This is a brilliant step. More airports in India should follow!” — tweeted a local traveler.
This move also aligns with the broader vision of affordable connectivity and citizen-friendly governance. It promotes the use of national infrastructure like India Post, reviving its traditional role in serving the people — now with a modern twist.
