Ahmedabad: Widespread protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) across different parts of the country were also one of the reasons for flight movements getting disrupted. Airline spokespersons say their pilots could not reach the airport in time at various destinations due to road blockage, forcing airlines to arrange for alternate crew members, which also triggered delay in flight movements.
Some 23 flight departures were delayed from the city airport on Monday — 11 operated by GoAir, seven by IndiGo airlines and five by SpiceJet. Apart from bad weather and poor visibility, CAA protests in Delhi, Lucknow and Kolkata, among others, too added to the delay in flight movements, which had a cascading effect on flight operations to other destinations including Ahmedabad.
“A combination of factors such as inclement weather, low visibility and anti-CAA protests in certain parts of the country have disrupted multiple flights across GoAir’s network. This was further aggravated with flight duty time limitations (FDTL) of the crew,” said a GoAir spokesperson.
Flights to Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Chennai, Bengaluru, Nagpur, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Indore, Varanasi and Goa, among others, operated by these three airlines were delayed from 30 minutes to 3 hours and 40 minutes, confirmed sources.
