Airlines are bracing for a difficult fortnight with Hurricane Sandy flooding the New York and Newark airports.
Air India and Jet Airways fly to these airports from Mumbai and Delhi. "Newark airport runway has been flooded. It is possible that ground equipment and navigation aids could be damaged. We anticipate it could take 10- 15 days for the operations to be fully normalised," said Jet Airways chief commercial officer Sudheer Raghavan said.
