NEW DELHI: All major airports across the country, especially those in the western region, have been put on high alert and extra vigil mounted following the terror strikes in Mumbai, official sources said on Friday.
    
Extra surveillance has been mounted in most of the airports, with additional CISF and police personnel being deployed to keep an eye around the terminal as well as the perimeter, they said.
    
While sniffer dogs were being deployed in some airports to assist the checking of baggage, watchers in plainclothes were also being put on the job, they said, adding that sky-marshals were boarding planes flying on specifically identified routes on a regular basis.
    
The airlines, both domestic and international, have been asked to inform passengers to arrive at the airports at least an hour before the original check-in time for thorough inspection of their baggage and also the vehicles coming to drop them, they said.
    
The air travellers have also been asked by the airlines to carry valid identification documents.
    
While domestic carriers, barring Kingfisher Airlines, have maintained their normal schedules in and out of Mumbai, some foreign carriers had cancelled their flights to the western megapolis on Thursday.
