Jet airways asks passengers to report 2 hours early

Mumbai: Citing security reasons, Jet Airways on Thursday asked its passengers to report two hours before their flight time, saying the check-in will close 45 minutes before departure, even as a fliers' body termed this decision as "impractical".
"In view of enhanced security measures implemented at all airports by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security", the private carrier advised passengers "to report two hours prior to the departure of the flight. The check-in counters for domestic flights will be closed 45 minutes prior to departure and boarding gates will be closed 25 minutes prior to departure as per existing procedures."
A Jet airways spokesperson said this measure will help passengers in avoiding congestion at airports and the flights will depart on time.
But the move came under attack from the Air Passengers Association of India (APAI), which termed the decision as "ridiculous and impractical".
