Winters are here, so are disruptions: Three flights cancelled, 10 delayed at Chandigarh airport

Delay in installation of CAT-IIIB, an advanced instrument landing system, at the Chandigarh International Airport has started showing its effects.

In the first major flight disruption since the onset of winter, three flights to Dharamshala, Srinagar and Kullu were cancelled, while 11 others arrived late due to poor visibility on Thursday.

Over the past few years, several flights at the airport have remained grounded between mid-December and mid-January due to poor weather conditions, as aircraft require at least 100-metre visibility to land safely.
