Three Italian nationals are reported to have bypassed mandatory immigration checks at Delhi airport, prompting action by Indian civil aviation authorities. According to reports cited by NDTV, the incident leads to a notice being issued to Air India.
The civil aviation ministry flags alleged violations of standard operating procedures (SOPs). The report states that authorities identify five SOP breaches related to how the passengers were handled during the immigration process. The notice indicates that the carrier is being held responsible for lapses in compliance with the required checks.
While the reports focus on the alleged SOP failures and the resulting notice, specific details such as whether the passengers were immediately intercepted, the flight details, and the passengers’ reasons for skipping immigration are not described in the provided account. The matter is therefore presented primarily as an aviation compliance issue involving immigration procedure adherence at the airport.
