Big relief for passengers: Recently, after Indigo flight got delayed at Mumbai airport, people started eating food sitting on the road. The rules have been changed to prevent such incidents.
Big relief for passengers: Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has issued new guidelines for the country's aviation sector. Through these, excellent facilities have been provided to the passengers. Now after boarding, if the flight is delayed, they can exit the plane and go out of the departure gate of the airport. Due to the new rule, now passengers will not have to sit inside the plane for a long time after boarding the plane. Recently, many cases of passengers being stranded after boarding the plane were reported. Due to this the rules have had to be changed.
After boarding, you will not have to sit inside the plane for long.
BCAS director Zulfiqar Hasan said these guidelines were issued to airlines and airport operators on March 30. These rules will now be implemented and will help in reducing the problems of passengers. He said that passengers will not have to sit inside for a long time after boarding the plane. Airport operators will have to put in place infrastructure, including screening, to implement the guidelines. However, only airlines and security agencies will be able to allow passengers to deplane.
Why did the rules have to be changed?
Several incidents of flight delays were reported in January this year. After this, the passengers started eating food sitting on the tarmac of the airport itself. Many passengers came out of the Indigo plane and sat on the tarmac of Mumbai airport. This flight was going from Goa to Delhi and was quite late. Taking cognizance of this incident, BCAS had imposed a fine of Rs 1.80 crore on IndiGo and MIAL.

- Full body scanners will start working at Bengaluru airport this month.
- Apart from this, scanners will also be installed at those airports where the annual passenger traffic is more than 50 lakh.
