    Smooth passenger movement at Delhi airport after congestion complaints: Authority
    Last week, multiple people took to Twitter and highlighted the situation inside the Delhi airport and expressed their displeasure about the twisty queues at security checks

    The Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) officials in Delhi on Wednesday stated that smooth passenger movement was reported at all of its terminal entry points at T3 with an approximate waiting duration of zero to five minutes. This statement comes after multiple complaints from last week, where passengers took to social media and alleged long lines and unhelpful staff members at the Delhi airport.

    Why does this story matter?

    • Last week, multiple people took to Twitter and highlighted the situation inside the Delhi airport and expressed their displeasure about the twisty queues at security checks.
    • Passengers complained about the massive rush at the airport as well.
    • People also tagged the Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and complained about the complete "chaos and apathy" at Delhi airport.

    'Travel with only one hand baggage'

    Taking to its official Twitter handle, the Delhi Airport wrote: "Smooth passengers movement observed at all terminal entry gates with an average waiting time of 0-5 minutes." It also added a smart travel tip for passengers and said: "For a smooth security check experience, travel with only one hand baggage as cabin luggage to the airport."
