NEW DELHI: Reporting up to 2 hours before flight time armed with protective gear like masks, gloves, 100-ml sanitisers and flying with a seat vacant between every two people could be the “new normal” for air travellers when schedule passenger flights resume.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has finalised a new protocol which it has submitted to the aviation ministry, seeking staggering of flights to avoid crowding at airports at any time. The paramilitary force has suggested that Defence Research and Development Organisation and/or some other organisations develop “sanitising tunnels” that can be placed at airport entry points for passengers and employees.
