Donald Trump made a grand entrance on the first day of his presidential visit to India with a speech in front of tens of thousands of people in a cricket stadium in Ahmedabad. However, the arrival of the politician had a knock-on effect on the city. Road closures and diversions had forced a GoAir flight to be delayed by around two hours this morning.
Flight G8 459 was due to leave Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport for Mumbai at 09.25. However, the Airbus A320 didn’t depart until 11:30. Thereafter, the aircraft arrived at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport at around 12:17.
Passengers were informed by crew members that the delay was because of pilot unavailability. However, the Mumbai-based airline has since shared that the US president’s arrival influenced the flight.
In a bid to minimize impact, the low-cost carrier issued a notification to its passengers to leave for the airport earlier than usual. This was due to traffic diversions caused by the US’ president’s visit to the state of Gujarat.
