SRINAGAR: Flight operations at Srinagar airport have been severely impacted, with 80 percent of flights cancelled and the remaining 10 percent placed on standby, likely to face cancellation as well, officials said.
Srinagar Airport Director Javed Anjum confirmed that the ongoing snowfall had led to widespread cancellations, with visibility remaining too low to permit landings, despite the runway being clear.
“The snowfall has resulted in the cancellation of about 80% of flights. The remaining 10 percent are on standby and are also likely to be cancelled as visibility continues to remain low,” Anjum said.
He noted that flights operated by airlines such as IndiGo, SpiceJet, and GoAir were among those cancelled.
Anjum added that if weather conditions improve later in the day, there is a possibility that the remaining flights could resume, but this would entirely depend on improved visibility. (KNO)
