The Mangalore International Airport has improved the domestic pre-embarkation security check area. This will further enable the personnel of aviation security group (ASG) of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), who look after the security hold area, achieve an improved turnaround time in screening passengers and welcoming them into the waiting area, prior to departure of their flight. It ensures optimal utilization of free space at the domestic pre-embarkation security check area before check in. It includes additional preparation tables and security trays. The increase in the number of preparation tables has also given passengers the extra space to place all the materials in their possession in trays for pre-embarkation check that the ASG personnel carry out using baggage screening machines.
