Even as hundreds of people moved in and out of Delhi through the airport on its first day of operations, many were left disappointed after multiple flights were cancelled following late communications between states and the Centre.
As many as 82 flights — departures and arrivals — were cancelled at Delhi airport on Monday. While the plan was to initially make a third of the pre-lockdown flights operational, some states requested the Centre to curtail the number, leading to cancellations.
While some passengers were notified last night about cancellations, giving them time to make alternate bookings, others found out only at the airport.
