With crowding continuing at airports, the civil aviation ministry on Tuesday asked airlines to deploy adequate manpower at all check-in and baggage drop counters while a Parliamentary panel has decided to take up with the Delhi airport operator the issue of congestion.
Besides, the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) has requested the scheduled airlines to place real time data on their social media feeds regarding waiting time at respective airports’ entry gates.
Airlines have asked passengers to reach airports early, do web check-in and carry only one piece of hand baggage for faster movement, amid rising air traffic. The country’s largest airline IndiGo and Air India have asked passengers to reach Delhi airport at least 3.5 hours prior to domestic departures.
