Turbulence hits Tiruchy–Chennai air route

TIRUCHY: Air passengers are unable to benefit from the relaxation of lockdown restrictions as flight services to Chennai remain uncertain. Despite the Union government opening up the domestic sector, not even a single day has passed without flight cancellations in the Tiruchy – Chennai route. On Sunday, two scheduled flights between Tiruchy and Chennai were cancelled.

Tiruchy currently has services to Chennai and Bengaluru. But on most days either the morning, Chennai flight or evening flight gets cancelled. “We are trying our best to help passengers. We inform them about cancellation but passengers often ask whether the next day’s flight would also get cancelled. Unfortunately, we cannot give them any assurance on that,” an airline source said.
