Delhi International Airport Pvt. Ltd. (DIAL) and Vodafone India teamed up to provide high-speed Wi-Fi services at both terminals of IGI Airport. DIAL is a GMR-led consortium.
The service is now available to all flyers at IGI Airport after three months of successful testing. With this initiative, the IGI airport has become the country’s only airport to offer value-added service for telco’s pre-paid or post-paid mobile consumers, who can enjoy the complimentary Wi-Fi service.
The customers of Vodafone going in for a 1GB and 2GB, 3G or 4G pack or recharge, will get 1GB free Wi-Fi which can be used at India’s largest Wi-Fi zone at the IGI Airport or any other Wi-Fi zone powered by Vodafone, the statement said.
“DIAL has now enabled mobile data offload service platform at the airport that promises to make internet access on mobile devices both fast and simple. Our strong partnership with Vodafone shall also ensure airport customers get to experience the best quality internet service using airport’s robust Wi-Fi network, the largest single Wi-Fi hotspot in India,” said I. Prabhakara Rao, CEO of DIAL.
Vodafone users need to connect via My Vodafone app by clicking on Wi-Fi connect option, other users just need to select “Vodafone Wi-Fi” from available networks and login by generating an OTP.
“Over one lakh inbound and outbound travellers use the IGI Airport each day. Our endeavour to offer Wi-Fi at the airport, will keep these travellers confidently connected on multiple devices, while they are transiting,” said Sandeep Kataria, Director-Commercial, Vodafone India.
“Flying in and out of Delhi will now be more fun for Vodafone customers who can also enjoy this free 1GB Wi-Fi seamlessly,” he added.
Vodafone users will get additional 1 GB free Wi-Fi data on a recharge of 1 GB and 2 GB, 3G or 4G pack. The free Wi-Fi data can be used at any Wi-Fi zone powered by Vodafone including IGI Airport.
The telco is also planning to set up information booths and kiosks at domestic and international terminals of Indira Gandhi International Airport.
