Air India Urges Early Airport Arrival Amid Security Alerts

Air India issued a travel advisory on August 10, 2026, urging passengers flying between August 10 and August 20 to arrive at airports significantly earlier than usual. The airline warned that heightened security protocols implemented across the country could lead to longer processing times for check-in, baggage screening, and security checks.

This advisory follows a similar announcement from Chennai International Airport, which placed itself under a high security alert for the same period. Airport authorities in Chennai stated these measures are intended to ensure passenger safety while maintaining operational flow. Air India encouraged travelers to factor in additional time for airport formalities to avoid last-minute delays.
