Air India Staff Suspended After Immigration Lapse in Delhi Transit System
Following a security lapse on September 4, where three Italian passengers bypassed mandatory departure immigration at Delhi airport while transiting from Amritsar to Munich, the Civil Aviation Ministry suspended an Air India staffer responsible for escorting transfer passengers. The government is reviewing and strengthening the hub-and-spoke transit system, including boarding pass issuance, passenger routing, and DigiYatra's role. Interim measures such as enhanced physical checks and verification of boarding pass indicators at transfer points have been implemented to prevent recurrence.
