The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) reduced the number of handbags per passenger to one. BCAS’s latest circular comes after it found that flyers with more than one cabin handbag are choking the security check-in counters at airports.

• Jaykay Enterprises Invests Rs 25 Cr in Defence Subsidiary
• Jupiter Wagons Shares Rise on Rs 100 Cr Battery Storage Order
• Simplex Infra Bags Rs 255.52 Cr Oil India Drilling Order
• Texmaco Rail Named L1 Bidder for Rs 26.6 Cr Vasai Rail Work
• Solex Energy Hits Day High on Rs 75.96 Cr Solar Order

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.”
