The runway of Lucknow's airport stands submerged in water, as the city experiences continuous downpour for over 12 hours now. This waterlogging has led to a disturbance in the usual routine of the scheduled flights at the airport. While a number of flights have been rescheduled, the international flight from Sharjah expected to arrive in Lucknow was cancelled.

Inbound flight to Lucknow now diverted to Delhi
