A hijacked aircraft on landing at an Indian airport is procedurally parked at
Explanation
According to the safety protocols established by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) and international standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), every airport must have a designated isolation bay. This is a specific parking position used for aircraft that are known or suspected to be the subject of unlawful interference, such as a hijacking or a bomb threat.
The isolation bay is strategically located at a maximum possible distance (typically at least 100 meters) from other parking stands, terminal buildings, and public areas. This positioning is crucial to minimize potential damage from an explosion and to allow security agencies to cordone off the aircraft and conduct tactical operations without disrupting the rest of the airport's functions. Parking on the runway would paralyze airport operations, while the apron is too close to passengers and infrastructure to be safe.
