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.
