Flight operations hit by snowfall, low visibility at Srinagar airport

Air travel to and from Srinagar International Airport was hit due to snowfall this morning as authorities diverted a few flights due to reduced visibility.

A senior airport officer said that visibility has reduced to 500 M while it was continuously snowing.

“No flight operations have taken place since morning,” he said, adding, “We are waiting for weather to improve.”

Already a few flights expected to arrive at the airport had to be diverted to New Delhi or Amritsar, he said.
