Mumbai: The security cover provided by the CISF at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport here, has bagged the ‘best airport security’ award from the World Quality Congress (WQC). The awards, based on the independent evaluation by the WQC Jury, are considered as recognition of excellence demonstrated by agencies in the commerce and industry space of the country/globe.
The award will be given to CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) at an event to be held in Dubai next month, it said in a statement on Tuesday. The Mumbai airport, which is the second busiest and hypersensitive aerodromes in the country after Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International airport, handled 45.2 million passengers in the last fiscal.
Recently, CISF was adjudged as the ‘best security provider’ at the Delhi airport. Last year, a survey was conducted by the Airport Service Quality (ASQ), in which security of Delhi Airport was adjudged best than the other international airports such as Dallas, Heathrow, Paris and Dubai. A host of initiative taken by the CISF recently, including doing away with baggage tag stamping, a seamless handling of the rapidly increasing passengers, less waiting time at screening points manned by the force.
