: An Oman Air Muscat-Mumbai flight was diverted to this city today due to air traffic congestion over Mumbai airport, an airport official here said.

"Oman Air WY 203 flight from Muscat to Mumbai was diverted to Hyderabad and it landed at the international airport here at 2.30 PM," the official said.

The flight was diverted to Hyderabad due to air traffic congestion over Mumbai airport, the official, on condition of anonymity, said.

The flight took off for its onward destination at 3.40 pm, he said.

There have been flight delays at Mumbai as the airport has upgraded its Instrument Landing System (ILS).

The ILS operates as a ground-based instrument that guides an aircraft approaching and landing on a runway, using a combination of radio signals.
