Flight schedules go for a toss in the fog at KIA

Fog made a surprise appearance at the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) on Monday, delaying several flights in the morning. The last instance of fog at KIA occurred on February 15, the second day of Aero India.

According to officials, 46 flight departures and 25 arrivals were delayed as the airport shut operations between 5:09 a.m. and 5:50 a.m., and again between 6:35 a.m. and 7:28 a.m. Two flights had to be diverted to other cities.

KIA sees more than 50 flights departing between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. At present, the runway is closed every day between 10:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. in order to carry out upgrade work. Partial operations are possible on some days.
As a result, the morning flights out of the city see a lot of passenger traffic.
