New Delhi: The closure of the runway at Goa's newly developed Manohar International Airport, also known as MOPA, led to the cancellation or rescheduling of several flights on Wednesday. Several airlines, including SpiceJet and IndiGo, issued travel advisories for passengers travelling to and from Goa due to the temporary unavailability of the runway at the airport. However, IndiGo later informed that the runway at the airport is fully operational now.

IndiGo took to X, formerly Twitter, to inform passengers about the potential disruptions, requesting them to check their flight status regularly and contact the airline's staff for immediate assistance.

In the post, IndiGo stated, “Due to temporary runway unavailability, flights to/from #Goa (GOX/ MOPA) are getting impacted. For immediate assistance, feel free to reach out to our crew/on-ground team and to check flight status, visit https://bit.ly/3DNYJqj”
