Flights delayed due to Aero show

Panaji: With military aircrafts taking over the skies in Bengaluru for the on-going Aero India 2017 show, passengers across the country, including Goa, were left fuming on the ground, as connecting flights were delayed.
With the Aero show in full swing since February 14, passengers bore the brunt as flights, originating or heading to Bengaluru, were rescheduled or cancelled.
AirAsia flight I51322 Bengaluru to Goa has been cancelled since February 14, while several flights were also rescheduled as the airspace over Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru, began to be dominated by fighter aircrafts performing evasive maneuvers.
"A few flights were rescheduled because of the Aero show but the airlines had already informed passengers in advance," an official at Goa International Airport, Dabolim, said.
A spokesperson for the airport said that authorities had also informed airlines about the expected delays and had asked airlines to keep passengers informed
SpiceJet Flight SG514 from Pune to Goa was delayed by nearly three hours as the aircraft, a Boeing 739, was delayed on its Bengaluru-Pune leg. The flight was scheduled to land at Goa International Airport, Dabolim, at 1.30pm, instead it landed at 4.39pm. The flight later took off at 5.15pm for Pune.
