Amid heightened tensions in the subcontinent and an intelligence-based alert from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International (NSCBI) Airport in Kolkata has been placed under an unprecedented five-tier security system, enforced by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).
Police have intensified security at Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport and its surrounding areas after receiving intelligence warnings about potential threats, arresting four suspected arms traffickers in a coordinated operation late Friday.
As a result of an alarming series of 70 bomb threats targeting flights operated by Indian airlines within just six days, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) held a meeting with the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of the airlines here on Saturday.
Sources in the Kolkata airport stated that one of the issues concerning civil aviation security that is yet to see a complete solution is the extension of the secondary runway to obtain the required Runway End Safety Area (RESA).
