AI schedule change fails to take off

Ludhiana: The changed schedule of Air India flight from Ludhiana to Delhi could not be implemented on the first day as the flight had to be cancelled due to low visibility on Wednesday. The departure had been advanced to afternoon from evening to avoid frequent cancellations.
The 10 passengers who were to board the flight for Delhi had to face troubles due to cancellation. The visibility at Sahnewal airport, which is required to be 5kms before landing and take off, was 1.5kms on Wednesday.
The officials initially tried to delay the flight but couldn't avoid cancellation as the haziness persisted.
Frequent flight cancellations have resulted in a fall in number of passengers. The average has come down to 10-15 passengers per flight from 30-35 passengers.
The new schedule was implemented to avoid cancellations but bad weather forced us to cancel the flight for the day.
