Five airports will suspend flights from Wednesday midnight and around 40 trains will either be cancelled or cut short in Gujarat, as authorities in the western state brace for Cyclone ‘Vayu’.
Flights will suspended in Porbandar, Diu, Bhavnagar, Keshod and Kandla airports for 24 hours from midnight, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) said.
“Equipment and heavy machinery have been moved to safety at respective airports and the Airport Directors of AAI’s Bhuj and Jamnagar airports have been asked to write to the Indian Air Force to suspend operations of civil flights from these two airports also,” the AAI said in a statement.
The AAI owns and manages around 100 airports across the country.
