Eleven flights operating to and from Chennai International Airport were cancelled on Monday, November 2, 2026, as severe weather conditions associated with Cyclone Murasu disrupted aviation operations. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) confirmed that services connecting Chennai with Vijayawada, Rajahmundry, Kadapa and Tiruchirappalli were affected as the cyclone moved towards the Andhra Pradesh coast. Chennai Airport Cancels 11 IndiGo Flights The cancellations affected 11 IndiGo services scheduled between 12.30 pm and 10.10 pm on Monday.

Cyclone Murasu Approaches Andhra Pradesh Coast The disruption follows the intensification of Cyclone Murasu over the Bay of Bengal, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) monitoring its movement towards coastal Andhra Pradesh. The severe cyclonic storm is forecast to cross the coast between Nellore and Narsapur, close to Ongole, between late November 2 and early November 3. The IMD has warned of sustained winds reaching 100 to 110 kilometres per hour, with gusts potentially touching 120 kilometres per hour near the landfall area. Passengers Advised to Check Flight Status The developing cyclone has raised concerns about heavy rainfall, strong winds and reduced visibility across parts of coastal Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Airlines and airport authorities are monitoring weather developments and reviewing operational conditions to maintain passenger safety. Travellers scheduled to depart from Chennai have been advised to verify their flight status before leaving for the airport. Further disruptions remain possible depending on the cyclone's movement and prevailing weather conditions.
