The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has asked all seven Indian carriers to ensure that passengers get their baggage delivered within 30 minutes of landing at airports.
The aviation security regulator has set a deadline of February 26 for the airlines — Air India, Indigo, Akasa, SpiceJet, Vistara, AIX Connect and Air India Express — to follow its directive.
BCAS started the “continuous” exercise of monitoring the time of arrival of baggage at belts of six major airports — Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru — in January as per the directions of Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.
