Vijayawada: Expecting a considerable increase in flight operations post-bifurcation, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) is leaving no stone unturned in beefing up security at Gannavaram airport. It will plug all loopholes and take measures to ensure foolproof security to passengers.
Airport Director B.G. Patil, in coordination with the Assistant Commissioner of Security of Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), had recently convened a meeting to discuss security measures.
The authorities felt that the height of the existing five-and-a-half feet perimeter wall of the airport had to be increased by four feet. Also, barbed fencing should be put in place to restrict entry of unauthorised persons to the airport premises.
The need for strengthening the perimeter wall has become a necessity as a portion of the existing wall collapsed during the last monsoon.
“We face this problem every rainy season. We have to take necessary steps to prevent reoccurrence of such incidents in future,” said a police officer associated with airport security.
