Several flights between the UAE and India have been canceled on May 26 and 27 (Sunday and Monday) due to the decision by the Kolkata Airport Authority of India to halt all flight operations for 21 hours. This suspension will begin at 12am on May 26 and continue until 9am on May 27, in response to the anticipated landfall of Cyclone Remal. The storm is projected to have an impact on the coastal region of West Bengal, including Kolkata.
According to a statement from the Kolkata Airport Authority of India, flight operations are being suspended for 21 hours due to the expected severe winds and heavy to very heavy rainfall in Kolkata.
