Pune: Flight operations to and from the city remained normal on Thursday barring a few moderate delays but two planes were cancelled at the Shirdi airport because of low visibility in the morning hours.
“SpiceJet cancelled two flights — to/from Chennai and Delhi to Shirdi — on Thursday because of the inclement weather conditions. As far as the visibility at the airport is concerned, things are still improving. A watch is being kept because takeoff and landing of different aircraft hinge on different visibility factors. However, it is unlikely that the airport will be affected as before,” an official told TOI.
Some passengers got hassled because of the flights’ cancellation. “We got the information (about cancellation), but it was a hassle because all plans, including hotel bookings, were done by us,” a passenger who was to come from Delhi, said.
“Due to bad weather in Shirdi, all departures/arrivals and their consequential flights might get affected. Passengers are requested to keep a check on their flight status,” SpiceJet stated in an advisory issued for the airport in the morning hours.
There was a complete suspension of flight movement at the Shirdi airport from November 14 to December 11 because of poor visibility issues. Both IndiGo and Spice-Jet, which have a total of 28 flight movements daily from the airport, had shifted operations to Aurangabad airport.
