In the backdrop of hijacking of Indian Airlines aircraft (IC-814) in December , 1999, airport security matters were reviewed by the Ministry of Civil Aviation. It was decided that in order to bring in uniformity of practices and procedures and ensure effective control and supervision of the Ministry of Civil Aviation , airports security should be entrusted to a single dedicated force instead of different State Police forces with divergent work culture and practices. The Committee of Secretaries (COS) in its meeting on 7th January, 2000 recommended that in the long-term there was a need for a more professionalised force for civil aviation. The Commissioner of Security (CA) further recommended that Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) should be inducted at all airports in India. The dedicated CISF contingent earmarked for aviation security functions at airports in India has been notified as Aviation Security Group (ASG). After deployment of CISF at airports, there has been a marked improvement in all areas of airport security including Perimeter Security, Access Control, Terminal Building Security, Apron Security, Surveillance, Passenger Handling etc. ASG staff have proved their worth in handling all types of security situations at airports and have been meticulous in implementing security procedures. They have been quick to plug any loopholes in security and the security system is constantly upgraded to neutralize emerging threats. In addition they have been able to bring about a higher level of security awareness among all agencies operating at the airports, including the passengers. Aviation Security Group of CISF is passenger friendly without compromising on security standards. ASG is committed to providing a safe and secure environment at all the airports under its charge. The dual objective of the ASG is to ensure that air travel is absolutely safe and the passengers carry a pleasant experience of airport security.
