Chaos Back At Delhi Airport As Flyers Forced To Stand In Security Check Queues For 3 Hours

The number of air-passengers at airports has already crossed the four lakh-mark of passengers per day even during the weekdays, reported IANS.

Travelling to and from Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) in Delhi has become a nightmare for passengers due to the long queues at immigration, and security checkpoints. Passengers on Wednesday complained of three-hour-long queues to get clear through immigration and security checks at the airport.

"This problem is eternal. I have stopped being an optimist when a problem needs to be solved via a politician. Till we have politicians who are interested in garnering media attention, nothing concrete will change on the ground," Mohit, a passenger was quoted as saying by ANI.

Reiterating a similar feeling another passenger said, "The worst airport of all time! Not sure who gives them the best award and they flaunt about it ... my experiences with Delhi international have always been horrible, the apathy of the officials is even more appealing, blore airport is much better comparatively."

A steady growth in aviation traffic is being witnessed in the last few months at several airports, including IGI in Delhi which is leading to longer queues of passengers.

The number of air-passengers at airports has already crossed the four lakh-mark of passengers per day even during the weekdays, reported IANS.

Domestic carriers flew about 1.25 crore passengers during January, 2023 as against 64 lakh during the same period last year, according to IANS. The passenger load factor or occupancy of the airlines remained on the higher side in the range of 80 to 90 per cent, the news agency further reported.

A similar situation was faced by flyers at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, Particularly at T3, in December, 2022. Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia made a surprise visit at the terminal after receiving complaints of congestion and overcrowding. He also held meeting with concerned stakeholders to overcome the issue.
