Snow Aftermath: Air traffic resumes at Srinagar International Airport

Number of morning flights got delayed due to snow clearance operation on runway

January 25, 2021 | BK News Service

Air traffic resumed at the Srinagar International Airport (SIA) on Sunday after remaining suspended on Saturday due to fresh snowfall and poor visibility.
However, a number of morning flights were delayed due to snow clearance operation on the runway.
Officials said all incoming and outgoing flights at the only airport in the valley were cancelled due to poor visibility and snowfall on Saturday.
They said snow clearance operation was launched on the runway this morning.
“After the snow clearance operation was over and visibility was good flights were allowed to land at the airport,” they said.
This was the second time air traffic was affected at Srinagar airport this month. All incoming and outgoing flights were cancelled for four days due to snow and poor visibility from January 3.
The issue of cancellation of air traffic and steep increase in air fare, particularly when Srinagar-Jammu highway remain closed, was taken by stakeholders with the 31-member Parliamentary Standing Committee (PSC) on January 21. The PSC was on a three day visit to Kashmir valley.
