The airport announcements are necessary for passengers to get updates on their respective flights. However, continuous noise from the speakers can be a bit nerve-wracking and irritating, especially for senior citizens and kids. And with advancing technologies, we have found solutions to tackle this. Now, people don’t have to worry about standing in a queue for information about flight timings. But they can get quick notifications on their mobiles themselves. This has brought in the concept of silent airports, and Jaipur International Airport will be one.
Jaipur International ‘Silent’ Airport
Jaipur International Airport has announced it will be in a silent zone from the 1st of February. According to the authorities, this new system will be equipped with digital screens and an automated public address system. It will ensure that no passenger will be left out of getting important information. Moreover, everyone will get updates on their mobiles as well. This will create a hassle-free zone for passengers. However, emergency announcements will be made through the public announcement system.

Other Silent Airports In India
Apart from Jaipur International Airport, here is a list of other silent airports in India.
- Chennai Airport (Domestic)
- Mumbai Airport (Domestic)
- Delhi Airport (Domestic)
- Hyderabad Airport (Domestic)
- Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (Lucknow)
These are India’s silent airports where no announcements are made. Though it is a great idea to avoid unnecessary sound pollution and irritation of passengers, it has led to a lot of mishaps. Many people have missed their flights due to no announcements and have negative reviews about this system. But hopefully, this problem will be tackled with the correct use of technology and modern systems.
