Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has lashed out at the Delhi airport authorities after his national capital bound Indigo flight from Srinagar was diverted to Jaipur on Saturday night.

"Delhi airport is a bloody shit show (excuse my French but I’m in no mood to be polite). 3 hours in the air after we left Jammu we get diverted to Jaipur & so here I am at 1 in the morning on the steps of the plane getting some fresh air. I’ve no idea what time we will leave from here," he posted on X.

 He made the remarks sharing a selfie in front of the aircraft.  Almost three hours later,  Abdullah in another post said, "In case anyone is wondering, I got to Delhi just after 3:00 AM".

The Delhi Airport meanwhile issued an advisory for passengers on Sunday morning. 

"Air traffic flow management measures for flight arrivals will be implemented today to ensure safe operations, in accordance with international and regulatory protocols, keeping passenger safety as the highest priority. All other operations across terminals and three runways at Delhi Airport, continue to function normally. Passengers are advised to stay in touch with their respective airlines for the latest updates on flight schedules," it said on X.

"We sincerely regret any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding," it added.
