New Delhi: As of now, there is no clarity from the government to resume flights operation but the Civil Aviation Ministry, Airport Authority Of India (AAI), Director General Of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and other stakeholders are working together on how to resume the operation post lockdown.
Meanwhile, airport security Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has made a new necessary plan for flyers post-lockdown, when schedule commercial flights resume.
In the new plan submitted to the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), CISF said that when flight operation resumes:
- Passengers need to reach at the airport two hours before their flight timing with proper protective gear (mask, gloves, and sanitisers).
- The civil aviation ministry must place sanitiser bottles at entry and exit points of the airports for passengers and employees.
- One seat should be left vacant between every two people on board.
- Airlines should make it clear for the passengers to whom so ever booking tickets, they should give details of their home/self-quarantine history.
- If any passengers flying after quarantine history, CISF will screening them in isolation checking point where CISF officers will be covered full personal protective equipment (PPE) suit. Airlines crew will offer sanitisers to every onboard passenger.
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.
