CISF also urged the civil aviation ministry that sanitiser bottles can be also placed at every exit and entry gates of the airports for passengers and employees.
Flying with a seat vacant between every two people could be the 'new norms' for air passengers when schedule commercial flights resume, CISF said in the new plan.
According to the officials, the plan is under consideration and the idea behind it is to seek staggering flights to avoid crowding at airports at any time.
"We have proposed a new plan incorporating necessary precaution in view of the change of circumstances due to COVID-19. This has been sent to the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) for consideration," GA Ganapathy, Special Director (Airport) of CISF, told ANI.
Further, CISF advised all the airlines that, airlines make it clear for the passengers to whom so ever booking tickets they should give details of their home/self-quarantine history.
