Passengers traveling through India's major airports have been warned of potential delays due to heightened security measures in preparation for Independence Day on August 15. Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru airports have issued advisories, recommending that travelers arrive early to accommodate longer processing times. Air India, IndiGo, and SpiceJet have also advised their passengers to plan ahead, as all three operate flights between the Emirates and various destinations within India.
Security enhancements are a standard practice for major national events in India, including Independence Day, with increased checks and surveillance aimed at safeguarding against potential threats. Delhi Airport specifically instructs passengers to allow extra time for check-in and security procedures, working in collaboration with relevant agencies to ensure passenger safety.
This advisory is issued three times annually during Independence Day, Republic Day, and the Durga Puja season to all airports and their stakeholders.
