Flights full up at Calcutta

Cancellation of flights due to Thursday’s bandh, coupled with the start of the winter holiday season, have sparked an unprecedented rush at Calcutta airport this weekend.
Officials of Indian, Air Sahara, Jet Airways and other airlines said there were “no seats” on outgoing and incoming flights for the next two days. Even all business class tickets are booked. Extra seats on some sectors on Friday have not helped.
“A huge backlog of passengers due to cancellations and tourist bookings have caused the rush. Those who would have taken flights on Thursday postponed their journey to Friday or Saturday,” said Anil Punjabi, chairman (east), Travel Agents Federation of India. “It will be extremely difficult for a passenger in an emergency to get a ticket on a domestic flight for Friday and Saturday,” he warned.
