Following Cyclone Remal on Monday, as many as fourteen flights from Guwahati International Airport to Kolkata were canceled, according to an official.
A high-ranking official at the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati stated that the cyclonic storm caused the cancellation of several airline flights.
Among the canceled flights are four by IndiGo, four by Alliance Air, and one by Air India.
The SpiceJet carrier has also grounded its single aircraft in Guwahati as a result of cyclonic storm “Remal.”
“As the cyclonic storm approaches, this preventive measure is being taken with the safety of the passengers in mind. Travellers are advised to monitor airline updates and use caution during this disrupted period as the area gets ready for severe storms,” the official added.
Meanwhile, the weather department has predicted heavy rainfall in several parts of Assam and Meghalaya due to the cyclonic storm Remal.
