smooth check-in

Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (KIAB) has issued an advisory, requesting all passengers to arrive at least three hours prior to their scheduled flight departure. This directive comes in response to a nationwide heightened security alert, leading to the implementation of enhanced screening measures across all airports. The airport authorities emphasized that this additional time is necessary to facilitate smooth check-in, security clearance, and boarding processes for all travelers. Passengers are urged to cooperate with the security personnel and allow ample time for the enhanced procedures. This move follows the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) mandating stricter security protocols across the country. These measures include compulsory secondary ladder point checks for all flights and restrictions on visitor access to airport terminal buildings. The decision to elevate security comes amidst escalating regional tensions. In light of these changes, KIAB has also advised passengers to stay in close contact with their respective airlines for the latest updates on their flight schedules. Travelers are encouraged to check their flight status before heading to the airport to avoid any inconvenience. “In view of the nationwide heightened security alert, enhanced screening measures are in place across all airports. Passengers are advised to arrive at least three hours prior to departure to allow for a smooth check-in, security and boarding experience,” 1 the official advisory stated.   The airport management has expressed gratitude for the understanding and cooperation of passengers during this period of increased security. These measures are being implemented to ensure the safety and security of all travelers. Other airports across the nation are also expected to follow similar advisories. Passengers planning to travel are advised to factor in this additional time for airport procedures to avoid any last-minute rush or missed flights.
