Kolkata: Airport to Take Shutdown Decision after Tuesday Review
KOLKATA: Small planes to be stashed inside hangars; larger planes to be secured with chocks; all ground handling equipment to be chained down; aerobridges to be anchored with steel cables; floodlights on high masts to be lowered; terminal roof to be inspected once again: With the meteorological department upgrading cyclone Yaas into a very severe category four days before it is predicted to make landfall, the airport operator and airlines reviewed the checklist to minimise damage at the airport during the storm, when winds speeds are expected to be in excess of 100 km/hr.
