Civil aviation ministry proposes outsourcing non-core security works at airports to private agencies

NEW DELHI: The civil aviation ministry has asked airport operators to look at outsourcing non-core security works at aerodromes to private agencies, according to a senior official.
Besides, the ministry has sought additional deployment of 3,000 CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) personnel at airports.
These moves also come against the backdrop of domestic air traffic almost touching pre-Covidlevels and an anticipated rise in the number of air passengers in the coming months.
