Under the protocol, the MPs must get access to reserved lounge facilities at all domestic and international airports across the country and they should be served tea or coffee or water free of cost.
The Civil Aviation Ministry has asked airlines and airports in the country to continue following the protocol that gives certain privileges to members of Parliament (MPs) during air travel.
The development comes after some issues of negligence regarding the protocol came to the notice of the ministry.
The ministry said the instructions to follow protocol are being circulated again and all aviation stakeholders should comply with the same "in letter and spirit".
