Bureau of Civil Aviation Security has ordered removal of separate security check counters for first class and business class passengers at Delhi airport triggering a protest from airlines.
At Delhi airport first and business class passengers queue up separately for frisking and baggage X-ray check. The BCAS has issued instructions to end the practice with a view to streamline the process.
However the move has upset the airlines and Air India has written a letter protesting against the BCAS instruction. "Business and first class passengers pay a higher fare for a reason and need special attention," said an airline executive.
