Of the major airports in the country, passengers feel most safe at Mumbai airport, revealed a survey conducted by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). The month-long survey of major airports in India, conducted in October, found that Chattrapati Shivaji International Airport has been rated the most efficient major airport in terms of passenger security and punctuality. The Mumbai airport handles 45 million passengers every year. While the Kochi airport was rated the best among eight airports, that include Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, Guwahati, Hyderabad and Delhi, it handles five times less passengers than the Mumbai airport, which is nine million every year. Pointing out difficulties while getting the forms filled at the Mumbai airport, KN Tripathy, deputy inspector general of CISF (Mumbai) said staff shortage at the city airport was a challenge.
