Cochin Airport Rejects SpiceJet’s Bad Weather Claim 

A few hours ago, SpiceJet took to social media to share a travel advisory. In the advisory, the airline wrote, “Due to bad weather in Kochi (COK), all departures/arrivals and their consequential flights might be affected. Passengers are requested to check their flight status.”

However, Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) disputed the claim. In a post on X, the airport said there were no adverse weather conditions in Kochi that could have caused the disruption. It also described SpiceJet’s communication about the weather as “misinformation.” The airport further pointed out that no other airline had reported cancellations from Kochi during the same period.
