Visakhapatnam: With Cyclone Montha expected to intensify, all 42 IndiGo and 12 Air India Express flights to and from Visakhapatnam have been cancelled for October 28.
Airport Director N. Purusottam said, “We are closely monitoring developments and coordinating with airlines to reschedule services and ensure passenger safety.”
Disruptions began on October 27, when the morning IndiGo flight from Delhi was diverted to Bhubaneswar due to poor visibility, though it later returned to Vizag. The Air India Express flight IX-2743 from Vijayawada was cancelled, and the IndiGo Vizag–Bengaluru service was suspended.
The Visakhapatnam International Airport, which handles about 60 flights daily, connecting the city to 13 domestic and two international destinations, saw major disruptions affecting hundreds of passengers.
Purusottam advised travellers to check flight status with airlines before heading to the airport, avoid non-essential travel, and follow official weather advisories. Emergency services have been placed on standby.
