Bureau of Civil Aviation Security

The  Bureau of  Civil Aviation Security  was initially  set up  as  a Cell in the     Directorate General  of Civil Aviation  (DGCA) in January 1978 on the  recommendation of  the Pande Committee  constituted  in the  wake of the hijacking  of the Indian Airlines  flight  on  10th September , 1976.  The role of the Cell  was to coordinate, monitor, inspect and train personnel in Civil Aviation Security  matters.  

 
The BCAS was reorganized into an independent  department on 1st April , 1987 under  the Ministry of Civil Aviation as a sequel  to the Kanishka Tragedy in June  1985.  The main responsibility of BCAS are lay down standards and measures in  respect of security of  civil flights   at International  and  domestic  airports in India.


BCAS works as:
