Srinagar- After morning hiccups due to snowfall and reduced visibility, flight operations to and fro resumed at Srinagar International airport on Saturday. While so far there were no cancellations, the morning delays caused some congestion at the airport, officials said.
“Our peak hour passenger capacity is 950. That is 450 arriving and 500 departing passengers,” Director airport Srinagar Kuldeep Singh Rishi said, adding, “A slight weather disruption with a few delays results in bunching of several flights and consequent congestion.”
Earlier, he said, visibility at the airport increased from 500M to 1000 M, allowing resumption of the air traffic at the airport.
The operations resumed with the arrival of Vistara (UK643) and SpiceJet (SEJ8963) at the airport, he added.
Earlier, authorities had to divert a few flights due to reduced visibility amid light snowfall this morning. The weather has now improved and snow has stopped with sunshine reported at the airport.
