The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), which oversees aviation safety in India, just issued a new rule for situations where flights are significantly delayed. The rule allows passengers to disembark the aircraft and move to the departure terminal if their flight gets delayed due to bad weather, medical emergencies onboard, or technical issues. This replaces the previous practice of keeping passengers confined inside the plane for potentially long periods.
When it applies: If your flight is delayed due to bad weather, a medical emergency onboard, technical problems, or other unforeseen circumstances.
