Air India Faces Show-Cause Notice After Three Italians Bypass Immigration at Delhi AirportPreviousNext

Three Italian nationals flew from Amritsar to Delhi and then 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 CEO Campbell Wilson, seeking an explanation for procedural lapses under the airline's hub-and-spoke operations. The Home Ministry has convened a meeting of senior officials from various agencies to review the incident and assess security and immigration protocols. Air India has not publicly commented on the matter.
