Two flights diverted to RGIA
Two IndiGo flights bound for Visakhapatnam from Navi Mumbai and Bengaluru were diverted to RGIA late on Saturday night due to adverse weather conditions at their destination.
After circling over Visakhapatnam for some time, the flights were rerouted to Hyderabad. Both resumed their journey after midnight once weather conditions improved and subsequently reached Visakhapatnam.
