Indore: Bad weather, Covid-19 hitting flight operations from city
Due to corona scare, passengers refrain from travelling; airlines cancelling flights citing operational reasons. Because the flights are being cancelled at eleventh hour, the passengers are harassed and are facing troubles.
Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Flight operations to and from the city airport have been hit badly, primarily due to two reasons—bad weather and low booking of tickets by passengers because of the corona scare.
As many as 12 flights were affected due to these two reasons on Wednesday, sources said. Most of these flights are run by the Indigo airline.
On Tuesday, too, more than 4 flights were cancelled. Dense fog was said to be responsible for this. One flight had to be diverted because of dense fog. However, there was a thick fog on Wednesday morning, as well.
