The State Government has agreed to provide required number of trained Special Armed Police (SAP) personnel to the Alliance Air to start flight services from the Jharsuguda Airport, tentatively from the first week of March.
The Alliance Air has offered flight services from the State’s second airport, Veer Surendra Sai Airport at Jharsuguda. However, it needs around 50 specially trained security personnel for deployment in security area, screening baggage and guarding aircrafts. Sources said large numbers of SAP personnel have undergone specialised training under the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), which is attached to the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
The BCAS provides all sorts of specialised training to security personnel all over the country, especially for protection of airports and aircrafts.
