India: Almost all flights to and from the Leh airport were cancelled today as a transport aircraft belonging to the Indian Air Force remains stuck on its lone runway due to a technical issue.
The C-17 Globemaster is facing serviceability issues, said Air Force officials. The blocked runway at the Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport prevented any takeoff or landing during the day, leading to the flight cancellations.
“Due to some avoidable circumstances, today almost all flights were cancelled from IXL. Concerned agencies are continuously working on it to rectify the aforesaid circumstance and to make flights operational by tomorrow as per schedule. Further updates will be shared,” said Leh Airport in a tweet.
