Overview

  • The direct-access platform went live on July 3 across all seven Adani-operated airports, cutting out established aggregators.
  • ICICI Bank and Axis Bank have migrated to the system, allowing their credit-card holders to swipe or scan a QR code for lounge entry, and other banks are preparing to join.
  • The platform authenticates travelers in real time by tapping directly into airport systems, removing the need for physical vouchers or external verification.
  • Shares of DreamFolks Services Ltd fell nearly 9% over two trading sessions after CEO Arun Bansal’s “no intermediaries” declaration heightened rivalry.
  • The rollout builds on AAHL’s digital lab innovations and follows the company’s $750 million financing in June to fund upgrades ahead of Navi Mumbai International Airport’s debut.
