Flight diverted to Madurai

08/09/2019 , Special Correspondent, Thoothukudi

The Chennai – flight was diverted to Madurai after visibility plummeted due to a dust storm that lashed the airport area on Saturday evening.

As severe dust storm hit the airport area, the Chennai – Thoothukudi flight that left for its destination with 71 passengers onboard at 2.40 p.m. was diverted to Madurai.

Consequently, the return flight service to Chennai from Thoothukudi was also cancelled, much to the hardship of 68 passengers waiting at the Thoothukudi airport.

While some of them cancelled their trip, alternative arrangements were made to send other passengers to Madurai from where they took the flight to Chennai.
