Air traffic at Srinagar Airport remained affected for the sixth consecutive day today as no flight could operate due to poor visibility.
The condition at the airport is the same.
No flight operations took place today as well as the visibility was very poor, Director, Airports Authority of India (AII), Srinagar Airport, Sharad Kumar told PTI here.

The visibility has not improved much.
While the requirement (for landing and take-off) is 1.3 kilometre, the visibility today was only about 800 metres. So all the flights for the day have been cancelled, he said.
