India Revises International Transfer Boarding Pass Procedures After IGI Airport Breach
Following a September security breach at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, where three passengers boarded an international flight without clearing immigration, India revised international transfer procedures. Now, connecting passengers on interline and codeshare flights receive their second boarding pass only after completing immigration at the transfer airport. Both boarding passes will be marked with 'I' to aid verification. These changes exclude Air India's hub-and-spoke system, where immigration occurs at the origin. The incident led to suspensions of personnel responsible for the lapse.
