Irene affects flights to JFK, Newark from IGI Airport

New Delhi: About a dozen flights operating out of the Indira Gandhi International Airport to New York’s JFK and Newark airports were cancelled or delayed on Sunday after airports in the US had to be shut for operations because of Hurricane Irene.
Air India officials said their Saturday flights to JFK and Newark from Delhi as well as Mumbai had been suspended, though they were expecting flights from there to come in sometime on Sunday.
The Friday 11 pm Continental Airways’ flight CO-083 has been rescheduled to arrive at IGI around 1 pm on Monday. The same flight on Saturday has also been rescheduled to arrive after midnight on Monday, an airport official said.
