In addition to increasing security personnel, the airport is also implementing stricter monitoring of taxi services operating in the vicinity to prevent illegal operations. Passengers are encouraged to use authorized taxi services and report any suspicious activities to airport authorities.
This proactive approach reflects the airport's dedication to improving service quality and safeguarding the interests of travelers, especially during busy holiday periods.
