A Mysuru-bound flight from Hyderabad was diverted to Kempegowda International Airport Limited (KIAL) in Bengaluru on Sunday evening to bad weather conditions at Mysuru airport.
Mysuru airport director R. Manjunath told The Hindu that the Alliance Air flight, carrying about 45 passengers from Hyderabad, was scheduled to land in Mysuru on Sunday evening.
But, due to bad weather conditions on account of “cross-winds”, the pilot took a decision against landing in Mysuru. Consequently, the aircraft, described as an ATR 72, which is a “small-sized” plane, was diverted to Bengaluru.
