The Kuwait - Kannur Air India Express flight, which was supposed to reach the Kannur International Airport on Thursday morning, was diverted to Kochi as the runway wasn't visible due to heavy rain. Manorama News reported that the flight tried to land in Kannur twice, but couldn't due to intensely rainy and cloudy weather. Kannur was on an Orange alert on Thursday and has been experiencing heavy rains since Wednesday.
The flight has already reached Kochi, but the passengers won't disembark here. Once climate conditions improve, the flight to Kannur will take off. Currently, there is no news of any other flight to the airport being diverted to other cities.
