The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has placed all airports and aviation facilities across India on high alert from September 22 to October 2, following intelligence inputs of a possible terror threat from a Pakistan-based group. The advisory, based on inputs from a central security agency, applies to airports, helipads, flying schools, and air force liaison units. What does the BCAS advisory say? BCAS has directed airlines, the Central Industrial Security Force, state police, and airport operators to enhance surveillance, strictly verify identities, maintain CCTV coverage, and ensure 24/7 patrolling. Access to terminals has been restricted, and visitors without travel plans are not permitted inside. The CISF, responsible for guarding 66 airports, is coordinating closely with intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Enhanced secondary checks and pre-boarding screening are being enforced. Is the security tightening a routine affair? Authorities clarified that this is part of routine seasonal advisories typically issued around Republic Day, Independence Day, and major festivals. However, past incidents like the April 2025 Pahalgam attack and hijack drills at Kolkata airport in July have reinforced the urgency. Passengers are advised to cooperate, arrive early, and follow airline updates. Flight operations remain unaffected, with precautionary measures in place to ensure public safety.
