Air India Receives Show-Cause Notice After Three Italians Bypass Immigration at Delhi Airport
Three Italian nationals departed India from Delhi airport without completing mandatory immigration clearance after traveling from Amritsar to Delhi on Air India and then boarding a Lufthansa flight to Munich. The Ministry of Civil Aviation issued a show-cause notice to Air India, citing a serious security and procedural lapse related to the airline's hub-and-spoke operations. The passengers were incorrectly routed through the international-to-international transfer area, bypassing immigration checks. Authorities are investigating the incident and have called a stakeholder meeting to address the issue.
