<h1>Sudden wind change diverts eight evening flights to regional airport, raising carrier and air traffic authority liability and passenger rights</h1> Eight commercial flights were diverted from the capital's main international airport to a regional airport during a two-hour evening period after a sudden easterly wind change made landings unsafe; normal operations resumed thereafter. Legally, the event implicates aviation safety and regulatory compliance by carriers and air traffic authorities, with potential passenger entitlements to care, rerouting or refunds under applicable air passenger rights rules and carrier contracts of carriage. Congestion noted by a carrier suggests operational disruption but does not, by itself, indicate liability absent proof of negligence or regulatory breach.
