To avert possible congestion at airports amid rising passenger traffic, regulator BCAS has suggested that new flight operations at airports should be linked to their passenger handling capacities at security check points, according to a senior official.
The move also comes against the backdrop of congestion witnessed at Delhi airport late last year that had resulted in long queues and waiting hours for passengers.
As domestic air passenger traffic crosses the pre-pandemic level, the civil aviation ministry has been taking various measures to ensure that there is no congestion at airports.
Capacity assessment is being done by the airports on the processing time, queuing time, passenger touch points and demand forecast.
The senior official told PTI that it needs to be ensured that airports have adequate capacity to handle rising air passenger traffic and in this regard, it has been suggested that new flights at airports should be linked to their passenger handling capacities at security checkpoints.
The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) is conducting an assessment of passenger handling capacity at airports as part of the civil aviation ministry's efforts to ensure there is no congestion at airports during peak travel periods, the official added.
