Weather Fogs Airline Traffic in Delhi


Fog continued to play spoilsport at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) on Tuesday morning, as a dense blanket of smog engulfed the facility disarraying scheduled flights and leaving passengers stranded. The meteorological department says the fog may clear around 1130 hours.

Nine domestic flights have been cancelled which include flights to Mumbai, Lucknow, Bhubaneswar and Bangalore.

The departure of seven domestic flights to Mumbai, Kolkata, Udaipur, Aurangabad, Bangalore and Chennai has been delayed.

The runway visibility is less 100 meters and general visibility is less than 50 meters.

The met office added that the fog will stay till January 8.
