Air India Faces Notice After Three Italians Bypass Immigration at Delhi Airport
Three Italian nationals travelled from Amritsar to Delhi and then flew to Munich without completing mandatory immigration clearance at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport on September 4. The Ministry of Civil Aviation issued a show-cause notice to Air India, citing procedural lapses under its hub-and-spoke operations. The passengers were incorrectly routed to the international-to-international transfer area, bypassing immigration checks. The Home Ministry has called a meeting with stakeholders to discuss the security lapse and seek explanations from Air India and airport authorities.
