2nd runway at KIA is an airside area, gets CISF protection

The second runway of the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) which will be inaugurated on December 5 has been declared an airside area, restricting the accessibility of the public.
Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel have been deployed around the runway for security purposes. “A security detail has been laid along the runway perimeter, including the watchtowers,” said a source.
An airside area is accessible only to passengers and staff of the airport and those entering this area will be screened by the security personnel in compliance with the regulations laid down by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security.
The second runway or the New South Parallel Runway, measuring 4000 metres in length and 45 metres in width will only be limited to departures initially. Though the runway is Code F and Cat IIIB compliant, it will be operating on CAT I standard certification when it begins operations and will progressively evolve to CAT IIIB as operations stabilise.
