- Bill Gates to Discuss Key Partnerships With State Government
Bill Gates India | Gannavaram, Feb. 16: Microsoft founder and global philanthropist Bill Gates arrived in Andhra Pradesh today for an official visit.
Gates is scheduled to hold discussions with the state government on partnerships in key sectors. However, his arrival saw brief tension due to adverse weather conditions at Vijayawada’s Gannavaram Airport.
Bill Gates, accompanied by his team, was travelling to Vijayawada for the high level meetings. Meanwhile, dense fog and low visibility created operational challenges at the airport. As a result, the aircraft carrying Bill Gates circled over Vijayawada city for some time before landing.
According to reports, the low visibility prevented the flight from landing immediately. Therefore, the pilot kept the aircraft airborne while awaiting clearance.
The situation continued for nearly half an hour. This led to concern among officials and observers present at the airport.
