Shirdi Airport: Flights to resume from today

Shirdi Airport is all set to resume operations from today, following its closure on November 14 on account of poor visibility. All flight operations were suspended at the facility following reports of poor visibility and thus, disruption in operations. Starting today, the airport will partially reopen for flight operations.
As per the reports, SpiceJet will resume its operations with flights to Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Delhi and Chennai. A number of other airlines are yet to take a call on the same. Reportedly, both SpiceJet and IndiGo had to move base to Aurangabad when the operations faced disruption.

An official from the MADC (Maharashtra Airport Development Company Limited) stated, “We have been in touch with the India Meteorological Department the entire time. The air traffic control (AIC) is under the control of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and it has cleared the landings and take-offs to and from the airport now.”
It is expected that all operations would soon resume at Shirdi Airport. An official also reported that airport runway has been extended and night landing facility might also be on the cards soon. They are awaiting inspection by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for the same.
