Air traffic was closed for about two hours at Bengaluru International Airport tonight after an aircraft of an airline damaged the runway edge lights at landing during heavy rain.
A BIA spokesperson said the 6E125 flight of IndiGo Airlines from Delhi landed on time at around 8.45 PM. "It damaged 3-4 runway edge lights", the spokesperson said.
In order to replace them, take-off and landing at the airport was closed down.
BIA officials suspected poor visibility because of heavy downpour might be the reason for the incident but hastened to add that only an investigation would throw light on it.
