This article discusses the impact of bad weather on flights at Darbhanga Airport, affecting thousands of passengers over two days.
Bad weather has caused a lot of trouble for passengers at Darbhanga Airport for two days in a row. On Friday, all flights were cancelled, and the problems continued on Saturday with several flights also getting called off. Around 2,500 passengers have been affected over these two days.
On Saturday, flights from Indigo and Akasa Air were completely cancelled, although one flight each from SpiceJet to Delhi and Mumbai did manage to take off. SpiceJet’s flight from Mumbai arrived earlier than expected, but overall, four pairs of flights were cancelled that day, affecting over 1,240 passengers.
Many passengers expressed their frustration at the airlines for not managing the situation well. One passenger waited at the airport from 10 am to 8 pm without food or clear information about their flight status. Another passenger mentioned that they received no prior notice about their cancelled flight, which could have helped them make alternative arrangements.
On Friday, an Indigo flight from Hyderabad to Darbhanga had to be diverted to Kolkata due to the weather. Passengers on that flight were safely returned to Hyderabad, but the ongoing bad weather has created uncertainty for future flights from Darbhanga Airport.
Passengers are advised to stay updated about their flight status and check for any cancellations before heading to the airport. The airlines are trying to inform passengers through mobile messages and notice boards to reduce crowding and confusion.
