We are trying to determine the extent of the damage and the financial loss. In addition, we are also trying to determine the sector-wise amount.”

The flight had to be diverted and cancelled around 9 pm. To reduce the inconvenience to the passengers, we have issued an order. Through which we will waive all the expenses of all the non-scheduled flights coming in the next three days.”
