As per BCAS AVSEC Circular, “No passenger should be permitted to carry more than one handbag other than those items already listed in the circular including lady’s bag. However, it has been seen that passenger on average carries 02-03 Nos of handbags to the screening point. This has led to increased clearance time and delays, congestion in PESC points and inconvenience to passengers. It is, therefore, felt that enforcement of the Circulars above must be ensured by all stakeholders/airlines.”
