More than 400 flights were delayed at the airport in the national capital on Friday morning as low visibility conditions due to dense fog disrupted operations, according to an official.<\/p>\n
Visibility conditions dropped to zero in some areas of the national capital due to the thick blanket of fog.<\/p>\n
The official said over 400 flights were delayed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) but there were no diversions.<\/p>\n
As per information available on flight tracking website Flightradar24.com, 470 flights were delayed at the airport.<\/p>\n
“Low Visibility Procedures are still in progress at Delhi Airport. However, there has been no impact on flight operations.<\/p>\n
“Passengers are requested to contact the airline concerned for updated flight information,” Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) said in a post on X at 11 am.<\/p>\n
In another post at 6.35 am, DIAL said while landing and takeoffs continue at the airport, flights that are not CAT III compliant may get affected.<\/p>\n
CAT III facility allows aircraft to operate in low-visibility conditions.<\/p>\n
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the airport experienced very dense fog with visibility recorded at 0 metres. It said all runways are operating under CAT III, which allows aircraft to operate in low visibility conditions.<\/p>\n
IGIA, operated by DIAL, handles around 1,300 flight movements daily.<\/p>\n
