No flights to and from Kolkata airport today and July 29: AAI
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) on Friday suspended all flights at the Kolkata airport on July 25 and July 29 because of the total lockdown that will be in place across West Bengal on those days.
“In view of comprehensive lockdown announced in West Bengal, flight operations at Kolkata Airport will remain suspended on July 25 and 29. The temporary restriction on request of the state government is to restrict movement during lockdown to contain the spread of Covid-19,” tweeted the AAI.
The Mamata Banerjee government had decided to impose total lockdown across the state earlier this week to check the rapid increase in Covid-19 cases in the past few weeks. This week, the comprehensive lockdown, as part of the new strategy, was imposed for the first time on Thursday.
