Bhubaneswar: Flight operations were majorly disrupted at the Biju Patnaik International Airport (BPIA) in Bhubaneswar today due to dense foggy conditions.

Not only the Air India, some other flights belonging to IndiGo, AirAsia and Vistara flying from Kolkata also had to return.

Following the diversion of flights, passengers flying to and from Bhubaneswar had to face hardship. However, after improvement in the weather conditions, all the flights landed at the BPIA.
