The Airport Authority of India (AAI) said that several steps to face the monsoon have been taken so that passengers do not face any difficulties while travelling through the airport.
“The airport might face extreme difficulties due to unpredictable rainfall patterns, heavy rainfall causing recurring floods and low-lying water filled nearby areas outside the boundary wall,” a release from the airport authorities said.
“LGBIA has implemented several plans and procedures to mitigate any potential disturbance in operations. The top concern is always the safety and well-being of the passengers. The airport’s efforts for passenger safety, operational excellence, and stakeholder satisfaction are reflected in the airport’s proactive strategy and strong preparedness efforts,” it added.
