The correct answer is C) Aerodrome Committee of the concerned airport headed by the Airport Director.
According to India’s National Anti-Hijacking Contingency Plan (NAPCP), the Aerodrome Committee at the concerned airport is the primary body responsible for the hands-on, on-site crisis management during an aircraft hijack incident.
The Aerodrome Committee is headed by the Airport Director and includes representatives from relevant agencies like CISF, ATC, airlines, state police, etc. The Committee of Secretaries on Aircraft Hijack (COSAH) and the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) handle policy, strategic direction, and high-level approvals, while the Aerodrome Committee manages the tactical and operational response at the airport.
