Daytime flights to and from Birsa Munda Airport in Ranchi will remain suspended from March 28 to April 27 as the runway will remain closed for the final layer of carpeting for a month, officials of the only operational airport in Jharkhand said on Thursday.
However, despite the suspension of flights from 11am to 5pm, none of the 20 flights taking off from the city at present will have to be cancelled, airport authorities said.
“The flights will be rescheduled, not cancelled. The presently operational flights will take off or land from 6.45am to 11am and then from 5pm to 9.15pm,” said the airport director Vinod Sharma.
