Visakhapatnam: Flight services from Visakhapatnam airport will take at
least a week to resume as the airport is closed for repairs after the
damage caused by Hudhud.
Though the estimation of damages caused by the cyclone is yet to be taken up by the Airport Authority of India (AAI) and the Navy, official sources said the losses could be at least Rs 100-150 crore. However, chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu said that the airport suffered a loss of Rs 500.
The airport was shutdown on Saturday as a precautionary measure ahead of the arrival of cyclone Hudhud.
As the terminal was damaged, it would be a while before a plane can take off from here. Till the airport is made operational, passengers wishing to fly in or out of the city will have to travel to Rajahmundry, the nearest airport about 190 kms away.
