Air India receives show-cause notice after Italians skip immigration at Delhi airport

Air India has been issued a show-cause notice after three Italian passengers bypassed immigration checks at Delhi airport. The incident raised serious concerns about passenger handling, leading to a meeting called by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the summoning of Air India’s CEO for explanations.

The Ministry of Home Affairs convened a meeting following the discovery that three Italian nationals had skipped immigration at Delhi airport. Officials described the lapse as serious and questioned Air India staff on their role in the incident. The airline was asked to clarify how the passengers were incorrectly handled, which allowed them to bypass mandatory immigration procedures.

Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) clarified that it has not been served any show-cause notice regarding the matter. The government’s focus remains on Air India’s handling of the passengers, with the airline’s CEO summoned to provide a detailed explanation. The inquiry is ongoing as authorities seek to prevent such breaches in the future.
