Lucknow, Dec. 9 -- Though flight operations at Lucknow Airport saw partial relief on Monday, normalcy is still distant, with IndiGo cancelling seven scheduled flights. Passenger counters appeared less crowded than in recent days, yet many travellers reported that their flights had been rescheduled, some by several hours and others by entire days.
The cancelled flight routes are Kochi (6E-435) at 16:50, Ahmedabad (6E-6968) at 18:30, Delhi (6E-6615) at 19:20, Chandigarh (6E-6552) at 20:30, Bengaluru (6E-6354) 20:45, Mumbai (6E-5201) at 21:40 and Hyderabad (6E-6166) at 21:55.
