Mumbai hit by heavy rain, eight flights diverted

Mumbai: As most of the country awaits the monsoon, heavy rains are lashing Mumbai. It is common for the city's roads to be waterlogged due to rains, but this time even the city's air traffic has been hit.

Eight incoming domestic flights were diverted to different airports from the Mumbai International Airport this evening due to strong tail wind and poor visibility.

Operations were stalled at both runways of the airport between 7:55-8:30 pm.

Normal operations resumed at 8:32 pm, said a Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) official.
