Ludhiana: The flight from Delhi to Ludhiana was cancelled yet again due to inclement weather. This is the fifth time that the flight has been cancelled this month.
Air India manager at Sahnewal airport Amrik Singh said, "The flight, scheduled for today, was cancelled due to bad weather. The flight comes from Kanpur to Allahabad and to Ludhiana via Delhi. However, it couldn't fly from Kanpur due to bad weather in Allahabad. The weather was not favourable for landing here either, therefore, it was cancelled."
But he said the fight schedule for the rest of the week remains the same on Saturday subject to favourable weather conditions. Sources at the Sahnewal airport expressed concern over frequent cancellations of the flight saying, "Each cancellation shakes the confidence of the people which is why occupancy in the 48-seater-flight is low. It normally stands at 50 to 60%".
