Several flights and trains have been canceled due to cyclonic storm Asani, which has engulfed parts of southern India. All IndiGo flights, including 22 arrivals and 22 departures, and one Air Asia flight from Delhi and Bengaluru each have been cancelled. “Revised status of today’s flight ops in light of Cyclone Asani- All IndiGo flights (22 arrivals plus 22 departs) stand cancelled,” Vishakhapatnam Airport Director K Srinivasa Rao informed news agency ANI. He said as SpiceJet’s Kolkata-Visakhapatnam-Kolkata flight is cancelled, the budget carrier will take a decision on its flight to Hyderabad by 2 pm. According to Rao, Air India is yet to inform about its flight operations.
Asani has impacted not just flight operations but also train operations around Vishakhapatnam.
