Rush of flyers at Patna airport

Patna: Heavy rush of passengers was witnessed at Patna airport on Tuesday as it was the last day for domestic flight operations. People from across the country landed here to return to their homes.
Altogether 23 flights were cancelled on Tuesday due to operational reasons and airport lockdown in other states. IndiGo and GoAir cancelled seven flights each mostly on routes connecting Patna with Mumbai, Delhi and Hyderabad, while five flights of Air India and four of SpiceJet were suspended.


A special flight was operated by SpiceJet between Kolkata-Patna-Kolkata (SG-911) on Tuesday for students from Bihar, who were stuck in West Bengal. “The flight arrived at Patna airport at 7pm with 100 passengers,” an executive of the airline said.

Meanwhile, four airport express special buses operated from the city airport on Tuesday for the convenience of passengers. Transport secretary Sanjay Kumar Agarwal said arrangements were made to send those people home who reached the city from Kerala and other places on Tuesday.
