Low visibility forces flight disruptions at city airport
Flight operations at Kolkata's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport were disrupted early this morning due to low visibility caused by dense fog.
Dense fog enveloped the entire north Bengal region early this morning, significantly affecting normal life. With winter tightening its grip, the cold conditions combined with low visibility have created challenges for residents and travellers alike.
Train services across the region have been severely delayed due to the heavy fog, leaving passengers stranded at various stations. Meanwhile, air travel has also been disrupted. At Bagdogra Airport, several flights faced operational difficulties as dense fog reduced visibility, making it unsafe for aircraft to land or take off on schedule.
Reports indicate that at least 10 flights were unable to land at Bagdogra on time, causing inconvenience to passengers. Many travellers were seen waiting anxiously, as the foggy conditions disrupted their plans.
