“Delhi airport sets up special enclosures for delayed flight passengers”
In a recent development, special enclosures have been created at Delhi airport for passengers arriving from flights delayed by more than three hours. This initiative allows early re-entry into the terminal for their respective flights. To reduce inconvenience and waiting time, these passengers will have to go through a separate security screening process, bypassing the normal process return straight Till the Security Hold Area (SHA), according to airport operator DIAL.
The government has relaxed security protocols at airports, allowing passengers on flights delayed or canceled by more than three hours due to weather, fog or technical problems to disembark and return to the terminal. In response to these relaxed norms, DIAL has installed special enclosures at all three terminals—T1, T2 and T3—to facilitate their re-entry.
