AI flight takes off 'partially' from Chakeri

Kanpur: After three days of continuous cancellation from Monday to Wednesday, the sole operational flight between Delhi and Allahabad via Kanpur touched the Chakeri Airport on Thursday. However, yet again, the return flight from Allahabad to Kanpur and then to Delhi had to be cancelled following the sunset limitation. The 48-seater Air India flight was thus diverted directly to Delhi from Allahabad on Thursday.
It was reported that the Delhi-Kanpur-Allahabad 48-seater Air India flight, whose arrival time at Kanpur was 2.40 pm, got delayed by 90 minutes and reached the Chakeri Airport at 4.05 pm with 22 passengers of Kanpur. The flight schedule was disrupted completely following the delay as the flight which was supposed to arrive at 2.40 pm landed at 4.05 pm in Kanpur. And, the departure time of the Kanpur to Allahabad flight, which was 3 pm, got delayed to 4.20 pm.
After several hitches of flight cancellations and flight diversions, the Air India flight seems to be following the pattern of Air Deccan, which was once operational from Chakeri Airport, and its flight services had to be closed down following the same reasons.
