Published: 22 August 2026 · 1 min read

What Happened

Cochin International Airport Ltd (CIAL) has accused SpiceJet of spreading misinformation after the airline said bad weather in Kochi could affect arrivals and departures. CIAL stated there were no adverse weather conditions in Kochi that justified the disruptions and noted that other airlines were operating normally.

Key Takeaways

According to the airport operator, the disruptions are linked to ongoing operational issues affecting SpiceJet's services, particularly international flights, rather than weather. Passengers have reported delays, cancellations and repeated rescheduling of flights in recent days.
