Ahead of India’s 77th Independence Day, IndiGo Airlines has advised travelers to prepare for increased security at airports. Passengers are urged to allocate extra time for security checks to ensure a smooth check-in experience.
At Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, restrictions will apply to non-scheduled flights on August 15. Non-scheduled flights, including private jets and scheduled airlines’ non-scheduled operations, will be prohibited from taking off or landing between 6 am to 10 am and 4 pm to 7 pm to enhance security and manage air traffic during peak celebration times.
Scheduled flights, along with aircraft operated by the Indian Air Force (IAF), Border Security Force (BSF), and Army aviation helicopters, will continue as planned. Exemptions include state-owned aircraft, helicopters transporting high officials, and flights for emergency medical evacuations.
