After privatization of IGI Airport in 2006, only one fire incident happened on the night of 04/05th January, 2012 in one of the airline office located on the 1st floor of the import Cargo complex. Short circuit in one of the airline office was the cause of fire. In order to avoid recurrence of such incidents in future, fully functional addressable fire alarm system is already in place. Further, 100% functionality of all the fire detection and protection systems is ensured through regular testing of the systems and conducting fire drills periodically.
