Bad weather grounds flights to Bhogapuram: four diverted on Wednesday, services cancelled on Thursday

Airlines cancelled flights to the Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport at Bhogapuram on Thursday (September 24, 2026), a day after bad weather over the north Andhra coast turned four flights away from airports in the Andhra Pradesh.

IndiGo cancelled both legs of its Vijayawada-Bhogapuram service, and Air India Express cancelled both legs of its Hyderabad-Bhogapuram service, according to flight-tracking data.

Passengers on IndiGo’s Delhi-Bhogapuram flight had the longest wait. Unable to land at Bhogapuram on Wednesday, the aircraft was diverted to Bengaluru, and the passengers spent the night there before landing at Bhogapuram at 6.49 a.m. on Thursday.

The weather shut airports further down the coast too.
