PUNE: The airport authorities are all set to introduce separate
security check facilities for domestic and international passengers by mid-January 2018.
An airport official said a that single gate for security check of all flyers had been set up. Now, there would be separate security check facilities for domestic and international passengers.
It has been observed that there is one domestic and one international flight with a gap of half-an-hour.
