Led by NSG commandos, the drill involved swift and coordinated actions to neutralise simulated threats and secure the airport premises. Such drills are crucial for testing the readiness of airport personnel, security forces, and emergency responders in handling crisis situations with precision and efficiency.

The drill simulated real-world scenarios to assess response times, communication protocols, and tactical strategies aimed at minimising risks during emergencies.

Bengaluru Airport's proactive approach in conducting such security drills reflects its dedication to enhancing security measures and maintaining vigilance against evolving threats in the aviation sector.
