Port Blair: Defective Flight Information Display System at the Veer Savarkar International (VSI) Airport here has left air travellers annoyed and exhausted for the past several days. According to reports, the display board indicating arrival, departure and delayed arrivals of various flights at the arrival and departure terminal of the airport has gone defunct recently and without any alternate arrangements, relatives of passengers of the flight are forced to wait endlessly at the airport to receive their near and dear ones. To add to the woes of passengers is lack of seating arrangements and air-conditioning facility at the departure terminal besides poor upkeep of toilet facilities in the airport.
