If you love shooting reels or making vlog content at airports, then this one is for you, as it can cost you your right to fly. Yes, you heard it right. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has imposed strict guidelines banning unauthorised photography and shooting reels in high-security areas of airports across the country.
As per a report by The Times of India, the restrictions are intended to prevent the accidental recording and circulation of sensitive operational information. Under the new rules, passengers and visitors are prohibited from filming, photographing or shooting reels at security checkpoints, boarding gates, runway buses, runways, aircraft handling zones, and other restricted operational areas without prior permission in Indian airports.
If the authority finds someone doing the same, they may face financial penalties and, in more serious cases, have their names recommended for being included in the DGCA’s No-Fly List, leading to a temporary or permanent ban on air travel. Additionally, authorities may also seize mobile phones, cameras, or other recording devices for investigation.
As per the reports, airport officials state that the move comes in response to a rise in passengers creating social media content while travelling. In several cases, videos uploaded online have accidentally captured security arrangements, surveillance systems and staff operations, which could harm airport security even when the content appears harmless.
Security employees have been given the authority to act immediately against violators. In minor cases, passengers may be asked to delete the material on the spot; multiple violations or incidents involving sensitive security content will attract stricter action. Travellers are advised to remain mindful of the regulations at all times.
