Answer: A
Notes:
Explanation –
Statement 1 is correct. The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) is responsible for regulating civil aviation security at airports in India.
Statements 2 and 3 are incorrect. BCAS lays down aviation security standards in line with the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) Annex 17 and other relevant guidelines. Air traffic control does not fall within the purview of BCAS. It is primarily responsible for aviation security, including the development and implementation of security policies, procedures, and guidelines. Air traffic control is managed by the Airports Authority of India (AAI), which is a separate entity responsible for the management and control of air traffic within Indian airspace.
