The airport authorities stated that no other airline operating from the city reported weather-related cancellations during the same period. CIAL described the airline's social media communication as misinformation, noting that the carrier has failed to adequately address ongoing operational issues. The airport operator further advised passengers to verify their flight status directly with the airline before arriving at the terminal. CIAL stated it has been providing support to affected passengers despite the airline's lack of resolution.
