Staff at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru responded quickly to a major leak that occurred on Thursday night after rainwater began seeping through the ceiling in one part of the airport. Staff were forced to cordon off the area and began clearing the water away.
While the city has witnessed similar scenes in metro stations, this appears to be the first time such an incident has occurred at the airport.
In an official statement, Bangalore International Airport Limited said, “Due to excessive rains in the Bengaluru Airport area, some water percolated through the external wall into the terminal building. The breach was identified and the area has subsequently been repaired and cleaned.”
A short viral video of Thursday’s incident shows water pouring from the ceiling and two men moping the area. Visuals suggest that the waiting area near Boarding Gate 9 had been affected.
In the last 24 hours ending 8.30 am on Friday, the weather station in the Kempegowda International Airport received 60.6 mm rainfall. However, the seasonal cumulative difference was only recorded at a 2% deficit till date.
