An Airports Authority of India (AAI) official on Saturday told news agency ANI that there is no immediate plan to shut airports in the wake of cyclone Tauktae as there is no clarity about areas that will be “most affected” due to the natural disaster.
“Right now it is not clear that which area will be most affected due to the cyclone. We do not have a plan to shut the airports as of now,” the official said.
A high-level operational review meeting of the AAI is underway with senior officials over the situation.
“After IMD alerted us about the recent cyclone Tauktae, AAI is closely monitoring the weather patterns and how it will affect… Accordingly, if the parameters are not in accordance with the aircraft operation then only we will take action,” AAI senior official told ANI.
