Flyers need to brace themselves for more inconvenience in the coming days. Delhi is going to face airspace restrictions due to Republic Day celebrations with no flight operations between 10.15 am and 12.20 pm for around seven days starting January 18.
Besides cancelling its flights to and from Delhi during this time, IndiGo also told its travel partners: “Other flights operating on the said days might undergo slight changes in schedule due to airspace restrictions.” It also asked them to explore alternative flight options or cancel at nil charge.
SpiceJet took to Twitter to tell its passengers that the airspace over Delhi remaining closed for short periods will “lead to some flights being affected.”
Air India is likely to change the departure times of its flights from Delhi during the restrictions on airspace use while sources in Vistara said that some of its flights have been retimed; a few have been cancelled.
At the same time, the Mumbai and Kochi airports are already seeing rescheduled operations due to ongoing runway work. The Mumbai airport has only been partially available for aircraft operations from November 1 last year. This will continue till March this year. Similarly, in November last year, the Kochi airport announced that as mandatory runway re-carpeting had started “all services are re-scheduled between 6 pm and 10 am till March 28.”
