Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], January 10 (ANI): Bad weather conditions and poor visibility hampered flight movement to and from Biju Patnaik International Airport of Bhubaneswar on Wednesday with two flights including an international flight being diverted to other airports, officials said.
This included Indigo's Singapore-Bhubaneswar flight, carrying 63 passengers and another flight of the same airline that came from Delhi.
While the Singapore-Bhubaneswar flight was diverted to Shamshabad Airport, the Delhi-Bhubaneswar flight was diverted to Kolkata, airport officials said.
The latter flight returned to Bhubaneswar after the visibility improved later in the day. The first flight however remained grounded at Shamshabad airport, with passengers awaiting further instructions, they added.
Airport director Prasanna Pradhan said that the Runway Visual Range (RVR) was limited to 150 metres due to fog, due to which the flights were diverted.
