Dubai: For UAE residents travelling to India, that quick airport selfie or travel vlog could now carry stricter consequences. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has introduced stricter rules on photography and videography at airports across India, warning that unauthorised filming in restricted zones could lead to fines, device confiscation and, in serious cases, placement on the no-fly list, according to media reports.
The move comes amid a surge in social media content being created inside airports, including reels, vlogs and livestreams that authorities say may unintentionally expose sensitive operational and security information.
Penalties can range from fines and device confiscation to, in serious cases, inclusion on the no-fly list.
Frequent UAE–India flyers, including tourists, business travellers and those visiting family, should be aware that filming is now strictly prohibited in restricted airport areas unless prior permission is obtained.
While photography is still allowed in public spaces such as terminals and lounges, authorities are urging caution as even brief unauthorised recordings in operational zones could lead to enforcement action.
