Vishakapatnam: Two flights bound for Visakhapatnam were diverted to Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) due to adverse weather conditions at their destination, an RGIA official said on Sunday.
The diverted flights were IndiGo flight 6E 5248 from Navi Mumbai and IndiGo flight 6E 969 from Bengaluru. Both were unable to land in Visakhapatnam because of inclement weather during the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday.

The aircraft later departed from Hyderabad for Visakhapatnam after weather conditions improved. Flight 6E 5248 departed at 11.41 pm, while flight 6E 969 took off at 12.16 am, the official added.
