Air India seeks US pre-clearance travel facility at Delhi, Mumbai airports

NEW DELHI: Flyers winging their way nonstop to the US from Delhi and Mumbai may soon be landing in America as domestic arrivals, if Air India has its way.

The Maharaja has asked the external affairs ministry to facilitate having US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility at big Indian airports like Delhi and Mumbai. America-bound passengers can clear all immigration, customs and agriculture inspections required by the US at these facilities during departure itself. On landing in US, they can simply collect their baggage and walk off the arrival airports like domestic flyers.
