Q97
(CISF/2020)
Geography › Indian Economic Geography
All the airports in the country are classified as Normal, Sensitive and Hypersensitive airports. Which one of the following is not a hypersensitive airport of India ?
Explanation
In India, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) classifies airports into three security categories based on threat perception: Hypersensitive, Sensitive, and Normal. As of recent official data (including Lok Sabha reports), there are approximately 28-30 hypersensitive airports and over 60 sensitive airports.
- Chennai Airport: As one of the six major metro airports in India, it is consistently classified as Hypersensitive.
- Pune Airport: Classified as Hypersensitive due to its strategic importance and high threat perception.
- Jaipur Airport: Also categorized as Hypersensitive; it was notably the first airport where CISF was inducted for security in 2000.
- Chandigarh Airport: While it is a high-security zone (being a civil enclave at an Indian Air Force base), it is officially categorized as a Sensitive airport, not hypersensitive, in the standard BCAS classification lists.
