CISF Director General O P Singh said.”From January 1, all AEPs will be made using the Aadhaar number of the individual working or employed at the airport.
A committee constituted in this regard has mandated that these passes will only be made using the Aadhaar number.

The Force has also sought creation of a AEP database so that red flags can be raised against defaulters or those who have been caught in wrongdoing,
Each AEP is checked by CISF security personnel during entry and exit at airports.
The force at present guards 59 civil airports in the country.
