Road chaos throws air traffic haywire

Calcutta: Nine flights from the city were delayed by nearly 30 minutes on an average as passengers and crew members remained stuck in a snarl on EM Bypass on Saturday afternoon. Even then, hundreds of passengers missed their flights.

Charmine Dhawan from Picnic Garden could not board the IndiGo Airline flight to Guwahati at 3pm even though she started from home around noon.

"I was expecting to reach by 1pm but as I got into the app cab, the driver alerted me about the chaos on the Bypass and suggested we take a detour through Tangra," said the manager with the Mahindra Holidays and Resorts.

Dhawan soon realised there was no way she could reach the airport on time and cancelled her ticket on the move. "I booked myself on an 8pm flight. I reached the airport after 2.30pm, boarding for my original flight was over by then. I finally managed to take a 4pm flight as there were seats going empty," she said.
