On October 25, 2024, flight operations at Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata resumed at 8 AM following the passage of Cyclone Dana. The cyclone, which made landfall near Dhamra in Odisha, caused widespread disruptions, including the closure of airports and the cancellation of over 400 train services across Odisha and West Bengal.
After thorough safety inspections, both airports were able to reopen earlier than expected, allowing for the restoration of normalcy in air travel. The quick response and recovery efforts by airport authorities demonstrated their commitment to passenger safety and operational efficiency.
Cyclone Dana brought significant challenges, including uprooted trees and blocked roads, but prompt rescue and clearance operations were initiated to address the aftermath. Although the cyclone caused disruptions, it weakened after landfall and moved southwest, leading to less severe impacts in some areas than initially feared.
Travelers were advised to check with airlines for updates on flight schedules, given the earlier disruptions caused by the cyclone. The resilience shown by the airports and the efforts of local authorities ensured that the impacts of Cyclone Dana were managed effectively, allowing for a swift return to regular operations.
For those affected, the resumption of services marks a crucial step toward recovery in the region. It also underscores the importance of effective disaster management strategies in minimizing disruptions to transportation and travel.
