No need to wait any longer! Soon, domestic air passengers travelling with only handbags will be able to go straight to security checkpoints as the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has asked the major airports especially IGI Airport of New Delhi to introduce “express security check facility” in order to reduce congestion at check-in and frisking areas. A senior CISF official was recently quoted in a TOI report stating that the express security check facility was first introduced in India at Hyderabad airport about a year ago. He further elaborated that an enclosure with three PESC (pre-embarkation security check) facilities was placed close to departure gate number 1 with one booth for women and five for men.
Now, CISF wants other large airports to introduce the same facility. The official continued, if passengers with single handbags and printed boarding cards can straightaway go to a dedicated PESC then the load on check-in areas will be reduced. Therefore, this will help to minimize the waiting time for passengers in other security hold areas. The official added that to create this security check facility at IGI airport, Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) has been requested to create infrastructure. Interestingly, all proactive measures are being taken into consideration by DIAL for the future terminal design, which can further improve the experience of passengers.
