India: Every hoax call costs an airline INR20m
Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) has received more than two dozen hoax calls recently, costing the airlines and security agencies millions of rupees. Senior security officials said that the current security plan makes the IGI airport an easy target, when it comes to a Brussels-like terror attack. The CISF, too, said that the IGIA was not built in a manner to facilitate security checks before entry into the airport. The officials said that change in the security plan would require complete overhauling of the terminals; otherwise it would make the airport more vulnerable to terror attacks. As per available data, more than a dozen cases were registered pertaining to hoax calls at the IGIA police station against the Safety of Civil Aviation this year, but only 2 callers have been traced so far. <br/>
