Currently, it is mandatory for travellers to carry printout of the e-ticket along with their valid identity cards to enter into the airport. Indian Railways had implemented the system of accepting the soft display of the ticket about a year back. It has been a long standing demand of the people to introduce the system in the aviation sector soon. PTI
