Private Security Agency (PSA) Security personnel to be deployed at 60 Airports

Security personnel from private Security Agencies to take up non-core functions in place of CISF at 60 airports across the country

The above decision will reduce the Security expenditure and these CISF personnel can be deployed at other airports which will further strengthen the security set-up. This will further help in operationalization of new Domestic & International Airports.

Airports Authority of India (AAI) has appointed 581 Security personnel from Directorate General Resettlement (DGR) sponsored Security Agencies for Non-Core posts at 45 Airports. These Security personnel will be deployed after completion of Aviation Security (AVSEC) training program at selected airports.

At Kolkata Airport, already 74 DGR Security personnel have been deployed from 09^th September 2022 after attending the AVSEC training program. Deployment process of the remaining security personnel is under process.
