As more and more people take flights and the network of airports grows in the country, there will be greater demand for security personnel and immigration staff at airports, Mint has reported, citing an aviation ministry study. Capacity expansion is necessary to avoid the long hours of inconvenience for passengers, similar to what was seen at the beginning of the year.
As many as 3,800 more Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel and 440 more immigration staff are required to cater to just eight airports, the report said, citing the study. The study evaluated the metro airports in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Chennai, along with those located in Bagdora, Indore, Jammu and Srinagar.
