Delhi airport implemented the rule which allowed a domestic passenger to carry only one piece of luggage or handbag as cabin luggage.
The Central Industrial Security Force requests to Bureau of Civil Aviation Security to ensure that the one bag rule is enforced by all stakeholders and airlines as passengers carrying 2-3 hand baggage create congestion at security check-point and increase security screening time that results in inconvenience to passengers.
There are some exclusions like Ladies handbag, an overcoat or a wrap, a rug or blanket, a camera or pair of binoculars, a reasonable amount of reading material, an umbrella or a walking stick, an infant’s feed for consumption during the flight and infant’s carrying basket provided an infant is carried, Collapsible wheelchair and/or pair of crutches or braces for passenger’s use if dependent on these, a gift item purchased from duty-free shops and a laptop bag.
The official said that they have mentioned the advisory at the entry of the airport to avoid any inconvenience to the passenger during the security check.
