New Delhi: Acting on intelligence inputs relating to plans being hatched
by terrorist outfits to hijack aircraft and launch attacks at Indian
airports, the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) has directed all
commercial airlines, including Air India, to beef up security with
additional manpower for carrying out their day-to-day operations.
A top government official told MAIL TODAY that the security agencies were working on plans to depute sky marshals on board commercial flights to the Gulf, Europe and South Asian Association for Regional Corporation (SAARC) countries.
The security audit of airlines came up last week following a series of intelligence warnings about possible hijack bids and attacks by Islamic outfits such as Indian Mujahideen.
The issue was discussed by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and other related security agencies, including Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), Intelligence Bureau (IB), CISF and Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA).
