Heightened Security Measures at Kempegowda International Airport: Passengers Advised to Arrive Early

Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru has issued a new advisory urging passengers to reach the premises at least three hours prior to their flight departure times. This directive is a response to heightened security measures instated due to current nationwide alerts.

The airport's advisory highlights escalated India-Pakistan tensions as a driving force behind the increased scrutiny. The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security has implemented mandatory secondary ladder point checks and prohibited visitors at terminal buildings, significantly amping up security protocols.

In its advisory, the airport also encourages passengers to consult their airlines for the latest updates and stresses the importance of cooperation and understanding during this period of enhanced security vigilance.
