Issued by Travel Freeby – Your Trusted Corporate Travel Management Partner
In light of escalating geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has issued a directive for heightened security measures across all Indian airports. These steps, while necessary for national safety, can significantly affect business travel plans, schedules, and airport logistics.
At Travel Freeby, we understand how crucial it is for corporate travelers to stay informed and minimize disruptions. That’s why we’ve prepared this advisory to guide your company through this uncertain period while ensuring employee safety and uninterrupted business operations.
Key Travel Guidelines During This Period
-
Arrive Early – At Least 3 Hours Before Departure
Due to enhanced screening, longer queues, and mandatory additional checks, arriving well in advance is critical. This applies to both domestic and international departures. -
Strict Check-In Deadline
Check-in counters will close 75 minutes before departure, without exceptions. Passengers who miss this window may be denied boarding, regardless of reason. -
Expect Delays and Last-Minute Changes
Flight reschedules, route alterations, or cancellations may occur with minimal notice. Keep communication channels open with airlines and your travel management provider. -
Carry Valid ID and Cooperate with Security
Ensure all travelers carry government-approved photo ID, including for domestic flights. Encourage patience and full cooperation with airport and airline staff during checks. -
Avoid Unnecessary Travel in High-Risk Zones
If possible, reconsider or postpone travel to regions near sensitive borders or locations impacted by military activity.
