Chennai Airport Flights Disrupted by Bhogi Festival Smoke and Fog

Chennai Airport experienced disruptions on Wednesday due to the Bhogi festival, with eight flights cancelled and ten delayed. Precautionary measures were taken by airlines and the Airports Authority of India due to smoke haze from traditional burning and early morning fog, though conditions were milder than anticipated. Passengers were informed in advance about the revised schedules, minimizing major inconvenience. Similar disruptions have occurred in previous years, with 2018 seeing 118 affected flights.
