Passengers stranded at Bengaluru airport as 48 flights delayed due to fog

Passengers at the Kempegowda International Airport who were travelling ahead of Christmas were in for disappointment on Saturday morning, as hundreds of them were stranded after flight operations were suspended between 6.30 am and 7.30 am. Operations of 48 flights were disrupted and three other flights were diverted.

According to TOI, 13 flights scheduled to arrive and 35 to depart, were delayed. A Bengaluru-bound BlueDart flight from Mumbai, an Indigo flight (6E521) from Kochi and a Spicejet flight (SG 1035) from Hyderabad were diverted to the Chennai airport. According to KIAL, due to the fog and poor visibility, operations were suspended till 8.30 am.

Mohandas Pai, Chairman of Manipal Global Education, who was also stranded tweeted about the “bad service” and impolite staff members of Indigo Airlines. “Kochi bangalore 6E 349 1750 D shows D as 2000 hrs, till now no D, no news, no change in timing; is this the service you give; no elementary courtesy to tell time to Pax? Staff is rude, non communicative!  Service sucks! If you do not even have courtesy of communicating,” (sic) Pai tweeted.
