Air India, the premier flight operator of the country, has announced to temporarily withdraw its morning Delhi flight owing to poor visibility factors at the airport from January 2 to 8. Similarly, Air India’s Kullu-Chandigarh-Kullu flight has been withdrawn till January 15 owing to the bad weather conditions at Bhunter as well as Chandigarh, said Air India airport manager M R Jindal.
“The visibility factor is very poor during the morning hours at the airport. So, the authorities decided to temporarily suspend the Delhi morning flight which generally gets delayed due to fog. Secondly, the Kullu flight has also been withdrawn till January 15. The next decision will be taken after January 15.”
Recently, two airline operators had pulled out of the international circuit connectivity to Bangkok (Air India) and Dubai from Chandigarh owing to bad weather conditions, which lead to cancellation and diversion of flights and render losses to the operators. Chandigarh is left with just a single international flight to Sharjah. Air India has already sought temporary suspension or change in time slot for the Sharjah flight, said sources.
