On-track AI flight surprises

Ludhiana: The Air India flight for Delhi has set a new record and this time a pleasant one. The flight remained operational throughout the week and landed on all three days on its schedule.
On Friday, there was much suspense among commuters whether the flight would land because it got delayed in its morning trip to Kullu and landed at Chandigarh airport too. Though it was delayed for almost three-and-a-half hours, it did land at Sahnewal.
Usually, AI flight (9803) takes off from Delhi at 11.05am and lands at Sahnewal airport at 12.10pm. It takes off from Sahnewal for Delhi at 12.30pm and reaches there at 1.35pm. However, on Friday the flight landed at 15.41pm and then departed at 15.53pm for Delhi. According to AI officials the flight's landing depends on clarity of weather and visibility and if the airport's condition improves there would be no cancellations.
