On Monday, a sudden spell of adverse weather across North India led to major disruptions in flight operations, particularly affecting services at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport. Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport in Lucknow became a crucial diversion hub, accommodating 15 flights, including three international services, that were redirected from Delhi. The disruptions were caused by poor visibility and strong winds, which forced air traffic restrictions and resulted in around 20 flights being delayed throughout the day. Notably, two IndiGo flights on the Abu Dhabi route were cancelled, impacting international travel. The diversion phase saw an influx of approximately 2,500 to 3,500 passengers, pushing the airport's infrastructure beyond its normal capacity. Additionally, an IndiGo flight carrying Uttar Pradesh's deputy chief ministers, Brajesh Pathak and Keshav Prasad Maurya, was diverted to Bhopal after multiple failed landing attempts in Lucknow due to severe weather conditions, landing in Bhopal at 10:30 AM before reaching Lucknow at 12:45 PM.
