Only One Bag, Not More Than 7kg: New Rules For Hand Luggage On Flights
According to the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, passengers are now allowed to carry only one hand or cabin bag inside the aircraft. Any additional baggage should be checked in
If one is planning to travel by air, they should familiarise themselves with the new hand baggage policy by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) before heading to the airport. Being unaware of these rules could lead to avoidable complications upon arrival.
Due to the increasing number of passengers at pre-embarkation security checkpoints, BCAS and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), responsible for airport security, have tightened regulations concerning the new hand baggage policy. This stricter approach by BCAS and CISF has prompted airlines to follow suit.
One Hand Bag Weighing 7 kg Allowed
According to the new BCAS hand baggage policy, passengers are now permitted only one piece of hand baggage inside the aircraft. Regardless of whether a passenger is on a domestic or international flight, they can carry only one hand or cabin bag inside the aircraft. Any additional baggage must be checked in.
