Kochi: Keralites travelling to the Middle East countries are going through a harrowing time after the authorities cancelled many flights to Middle East destinations without prior notice, citing adverse weather conditions.
The irate passengers created unruly scenes at the Nedumbassery airport on Thursday when a Dubai-bound flight returned to the airport after flying for about nine hours.
Though the reason for the cancellation of the flight was cited as reduced visibility due to sandstorm in the Gulf, the flight is learnt to have been cancelled after it was not given permission to land in Dubai.
