In an unexpected turn of events, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's special flight bound for New Delhi was diverted to Jaipur on Monday due to inclement weather conditions. The incident occurred as the aircraft, operated by the Indian Air Force (IAF), was en route to the national capital. While the exact time of departure from Bengaluru has not been disclosed, the diversion took place shortly after takeoff, prompting the aircraft to land at Jaipur International Airport as a precautionary measure.
According to aviation sources, the decision to divert the flight was made after the pilot assessed the weather conditions along the intended route. Heavy fog and reduced visibility were reported in parts of northern India, including Delhi, which could have posed challenges during landing. Jaipur, being an alternate airport with better visibility at the time, was chosen as the diversion destination. The aircraft safely landed at Jaipur International Airport, where it remained for several hours until weather conditions improved in Delhi.
