IndiGo flight aborts landing at Chennai airport as cyclone brings strong winds

An IndiGo Airlines flight attempted to land at Chennai International Airport during Cyclone Fengal but aborted due to strong winds. The Airbus A320neo swerved and made a go-around before successfully landing on its second attempt. The airport closed shortly after the incident on Saturday due to high crosswinds and heavy rain. It reopened Sunday morning, but thousands of passengers faced cancellations and delays, with IndiGo cancelling all flights to and from Chennai. Authorities reported wind speeds of 35 knots, prompting safety concerns. The Airports Authority of India noted that operations were suspended due to the risk posed by such high winds.
