Chennai: At least 14 domestic flight services were cancelled and international flight services have been rescheduled in view of incessant rains in Chennai.
Some of the flights to London, Bahrain, Dubai and Muscat on Thursday and Friday have been rescheduled. Few flights to Dubai and Sharjah early on Thursday have been cancelled too.
The flights were cancelled due to anticipated bad weather conditions. ‘The airlines took the decision based on the weather forecast to prevent inconvenience to passengers. The cancelled domestic flights are smaller aircraft which may have difficulty landing in windy conditions,’ said an AAI official.
AAI officials said they have prepared a detailed contingency plan in case there is very heavy rain in the coming days.
