Mumbai rains delay flights by 30 minutes

Mumbai: Heavy rains on Tuesday affected flight operations by up to 30 minutes at the city airport.

"Flight operations have been delayed by 15-30 minutes and there have been five go-arounds," an airport spokesperson said.

Heavy rains have lashed the city since late last evening, disrupting train and road traffic as well.

Operations at the Chhtrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) here have been hit for multiple days starting with the torrential downpour on Friday.

On Friday, flight operations were delayed by 45 minutes and four flights had to be diverted, while a snag in the radar hit operations on Saturday. This was followed by heavy rains delaying operations by 15 minutes on Sunday.
