New Delhi: In a shocking case of security breach at Terminal 3 of Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport - which is reputed to be one of the World's best, a Kingfisher passenger was allowed to enter the terminal and board a flight on a month old boarding pass.
The CISF has ordered a probe after CNN-IBN exposed the security breach at Delhi Airport's terminal 3.
On February 10 at 5.55 am, 29-year-old Ankush Wadhera entered Delhi's T3 terminal to board a Kingfisher flight to Kolkata.
A frequent flyer, Ankush carried a computerised boarding pass after a web check-in. He passed through CISF security at the terminal entrance, checked in at the Kingfisher counter and boarded the flight without a hitch. Finding his seat occupied, Ankush checked his boarding pass and found to his horror that he was travelling on a one month old ticket.
"For people like me who fly frequently it's all the more a concern. This is a systematic failure which is somebody knows how to game the system can take complete undue advantage of. I was sitting in the aircraft and I said wow this is a 10 Jan ticket using and sitting in the aircraft," said Ankush.
The ticket dated January 10 was the one Ankush traveled with while the one dated February 10 was the legitimate ticket.
How did CISF security fail to notice the discrepancy? And why did the airline staff at the Kingfisher counter not see the PNR number was wrong?
