In any aircraft, Sky Marshals travel according to a schedule given by

Sky Marshals are armed, undercover security officers deployed on commercial aircraft to prevent hijackings and ensure in-flight security. In India, these marshals are sourced from the National Security Guard (NSG), an elite counter-terrorism unit. However, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), which is the regulatory authority for civil aviation security in India under the Ministry of Civil Aviation, is responsible for the scheduling and deployment of these marshals based on threat assessments. While the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) oversees flight safety and licensing, and the Airport Operator manages ground infrastructure, the specific security protocol of Sky Marshal deployment is mandated and scheduled by BCAS.
