A passenger flight from Hyderabad was expected to arrive at 850am, but could not land on time and landed only at 1013am. The flight which was supposed to return to Hyderabad at 925am could depart only at 11am due to a delayed landing. Operations were impacted from poor visibility following heavy fog. Sources in the airport informed that some of the important landing assistance systems were also not working at their maximum capacity due to the ongoing developmental work. Rajesh Modi, an aviation activist, alleged that when he inquired about the progress of the work that was planned at the airport, the airport officials did not provide details even under RTI. Another aviation activist in the city who has been campaigning for a functional city airport in the diamond city said "we have been demanding the upgradation of ils and other infrastructure for landing there should be multiple systems to assist aircraft during such weather for safe landing." Despite several attempts, airport director Aman Saini was however not available for comments.
