New rules have been applied with the aim of reducing congestion and security concerns on the ground and reducing the burden on screening points at the airport.

“According to BCAS AVSEC circular No. 06/2000 & LT12000, no passengers are allowed to bring more than one handbag other than the items that have been registered in the round including a women’s bag,” BCAS said in the order released on January 19.
“It has been seen that the average passenger brings 02-03 no handbags to the screening point. This has led to an increase in the time of permission and delay, congestion at PESC points and discomfort for passengers,” read.
The Civil Aviation Agency instructed airport operators, airport operators and other stakeholders to ensure the enforcement of ‘handbag rules’ and display them on stockpiles and passenger tickets and boarding passes for clarity.
“Airlines can be responsible and staff institutions to guide PAX, check and verify their handbag status, etc., before allowing passengers for pre-embarkation security checks,” BCAS said.
