As airports across the country report congestion and long queues amid a surge in passenger traffic, aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has asked the government and private airport operators to work on decongesting these airports to mitigate passenger inconvenience.
“The airports have been asked to look at three main issues – infrastructure, workforce and flight timings – to ensure that flights are not bunched together, causing a delay at security and other areas inside the terminal. Airports need to come up with solutions for these,” said a senior government official, who did not wish to be identified.
