KLM can't find new HYD; India?
"KLM pilot can't place new Hyderabad airport", from The Times of India. Hours after HYD opened a KLM flight from Europe diverted to Delhi as the pilot of the KLM had no Notam about the closing of Hyderabad Begumpet (HYD) and the opening of Hyderabad Shamshabadad (HYD), says The Times. On arriving Delhi the aircraft was refused landing clearance and so diverted to Mumbai were it landed without any problems, according to reports. Good choice on fuel Captain! Must have been a very busy flight deck.
Report ends that KLM were 'profusely apologetic'.
All the above is from the 'press'; no first-hand knowledge but as a regular to India thought it of some interest. Good to see another much needed new airport facility in India.
Happened to me many many years ago when a first officer with a start up airline. A new airfield opened and only after take-off did we realise that we were off to the 'new' airport. No charts, no NOTAM, no nothing. But CAVOK, no traffic and we knew the area well. Unlike Hyderabad when the KLM diverted where there is always a lot of traffic and weather was reported as marginal. Not too long ago though that I arrived in China to find a new parallel runway was open that was not on any of our Jepps! Of course it had to be the one in use and we were not the only ones asking for the ILS frequency and go-around procedure.
