Monsoons

Several times it occurred that, in the history of Air India, flights had to be deferred because of monsoons and the consequence of floods at the airports of India. In late July 2005, a few Boeing 747s were supposed to fly from Mumbai over Frankfurt to LAX and from Delhi over Frankfurt to Chicago. From appx. July 20, 2005 to August 1, 2005 there were severe turbulenbces, heavy rain and flooded airports in India, so this wasn't possible.
