In response to growing passenger traffic at airport security checkpoints, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has introduced a new hand baggage policy that all air travelers must adhere to. The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has joined hands with BCAS to tighten rules, compelling airlines to implement the revised regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Highlights of the Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Single Hand Baggage Rule: Passengers on both domestic and international flights are now allowed to carry only one piece of hand luggage on board. Additional luggage must be checked in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economy and Premium Economy: Maximum weight of 7 kg.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First and Business Class: Maximum weight of 10 kg.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
