US airports snowed in, passengers stranded

Mumbai Flight operations were disrupted again on Tuesday with New York, Newark and Boston airports shutting down for a few hours due to heavy snowfall. “Passengers are avoiding transit routes via Europe. I have received enquiries for routes to US via Dubai and Singapore. These routes would take them to Los Angeles or San Francisco,” said Jay Bhatia of Tulsidas Khimji Limited. “The mad rush for seats begins after December 31,” he said.
Continental Airlines cancelled its flights to and from Mumbai on Tuesday. Most flights, including those of Air India and Jet Airways, from the US were delayed. Nearly all flights from Brussels including those of American Airlines, Jet Airways and Brussels Airlines were delayed by around eight hours.
