Digital Desk: The Guwahati airport issued an advisory, asking passengers to arrive at least three hours before their scheduled departure time to avoid the holiday rush. The facility anticipates an increase in passenger volume, which is likely to increase further as the holiday season approaches.

"We ask that all of our guests passing through the airport allow extra time for travel-related procedures and mandatory security protocols," the Adani Group-controlled Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport said in the advisory.

"International as well as domestic passengers, travelling through our airport, are advised to reach at least 3 hours prior to their scheduled flight," it added. 

It further noted that due to increased VIP and passenger traffic, highways are frequently congested and traffic is diverted.

"To avoid delays caused by that, please reach the airport well in advance," the advisory issued by the Guwahati International Airport Ltd (GIAL), the operator of LGBI Airport, added.

Over the last two weeks, travellers have been posting images and videos of long queues and crowding at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai, prompting authorities to take notice and order airlines and airport operators to reduce congestion.
