After the first hotel in Aerocity, JW Marriott, opened its gates to visitors last Friday, more clearances were expected by other hotels in the 43-acre complex. However, these hotels may have to wait longer for their NOCs. Right after inspection and partial clearance to Marriott, two other hotels-Red Fox and Lemon Tree-had been queued up for inspection. Sources say the inspection has just been conducted by a Delhi Police team and a report is being compiled on it. The report is said to have highlighted several deficiencies in the security of both the hotels. Though no major security loophole was found, the team is said to have found some minor aberrations and so clearances have been postponed, at least for now.

"There were some issues like easy access to the verandah or a baggage scanning mechanism not up to the mark. Things that don't directly threaten the security of flights but can prove to be just the loopholes someone wishing to create trouble would be looking for," said a senior airport security official. The official added that Defence Research and Development Organization must check the grade of glass fixed in the hotels' tarmac facing rooms and submit its own report.

DRDO in Chandigarh recently completed testing bulletproof glass samples and recommended a material for the windows of Aerocity hotels. Sources in airport security said both hotels have rooms facing the tarmac and a clearance in immediate future looks unlikely. The two hotels have a combined capacity of 487 rooms and strength of 600 employees. Once open, the budget hotels are likely to provide a breather to visitors looking for cheaper alternatives located close to the airport. The newly constructed hotels have been waiting for the past 10 months for police clearance.
