Setback for Celebi: HC junks Turkish firm's plea over airport security clearance
The Delhi High Court upheld the revocation of Turkey-based Çelebi's security clearance by the BCAS, citing national security concerns. This decision followed intelligence inputs suggesting Çelebi's operations posed a risk, particularly given geopolitical tensions. Çelebi, responsible for ground handling at several Indian airports, argued the revocation violated natural justice, but the court sided with the government's assessment of an 'unprecedented' threat.
