Mohali, June 13 -- As many as two flights from Chandigarh to Ahmedabad were delayed by around 90 minutes on Thursday due to the temporary closure of Ahmedabad airport for nearly two hours after a London-bound Air India flight crashed soon after take-off earlier in the afternoon.

Ajay Verma, CEO of the Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport, shared that IndiGo's flight 6E-251, which was scheduled to depart for Ahmedabad at 3.55 pm, eventually took off at 5.30 pm, resulting in a delay of 90 minutes.

He added that IndiGo's flight 6E-3659, scheduled to depart at 6.55 pm, was also delayed by nearly 90 minutes.
