===India===
India published its anti-hijacking policy in August 2005.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4150640.stm "India adopts tough hijack policy"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110314140955/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4150640.stm |date=2011-03-14 }}. [[BBC News]], 14 August 2005</ref> The policy came into force after approval from the [[Cabinet Committee on Security]] (CCS). The main points of the policy are:
* Any attempt to hijack will be considered an act of aggression against the country and will prompt a response fit for an aggressor.
* Hijackers, if captured alive, will be put on trial, convicted, and sentenced to death.
* Hijackers will be engaged in negotiations only to bring the incident to an end, to comfort passengers and to prevent loss of lives.
* The hijacked plane will be shot down if it is deemed to become a missile heading for strategic targets.
* The hijacked plane will be escorted by armed fighter aircraft and will be forced to land.
* A hijacked grounded plane will not be allowed to take off under any circumstance.
