Heavy fog that prevailed after untimely rainfall on Thursday afternoon forced to divert two of the Raipur-bound flights from the Swami Vivekananda Airport of the capital.
According to information from Rakesh Sahay, Airport Director, due to poor visibility flight no 801 coming from Mumbai was diverted to Hyderabad while flight coming from Hyderabad was diverted to Odisha’s capital Bhubaneswar.
This causes inconvenience to passengers coming to Raipur and also to those who were to take flights from Raipur Airport.
The flights to be landed in the afternoon were only suffered due to rough weather whereas the landings of evening flights were resumed as the weather thereafter became normal, said the airport official.
