Srinagar- Air traffic to and fro Kashmir Valley was affected with several flights already rescheduled on Wednesday amid light snowfall and poor visibility at Srinagar airport, officials said.
The good news for the travelers was that the runaway has been cleared and visibility has improved at the airport to allow the resumption of the flight operations, they said.
Airport authorities in a series of tweets earlier informed that snow, mist, and fog reduced visibility on the ground and in the air.
“Snow and ice reduce braking action on the runway which creates hindrance in flight operation,” they said, adding, “Snow clearance machines and all team of (airport) are putting efforts to resume flight operation as soon as possible. Keep in touch for all updates as well as do contact with relevant airlines for updates.”
