Kolkata: Barely 48 hours have passed after 12 flights hovered over Kolkata airport for about 35 minutes as both its runways were closed due to large craters, panic gripped the airport again on Friday following two incidents of fire, one on the primary runway and the other in an AC bus.
The first fire was noticed around 10.17am at the northern end of the primary runway. This forced two flights, that were about to land on the primary runway then, to set down at the secondary runway instead.
The flights were diverted to the secondary runway as airport officials rushed to the spot and doused the fire by 10.22am using fire extinguishers. The cause of the fire is yet to be found out and a probe is on.
