Hyderabad: If you are flying today, you should better check with your airlines about updatd flight information, as there is every possibility of flights getting delayed due to fog in Delhi international airport.
Flight arrivals and departures in and out of Delhi are likely to be affected due to the fog and it will certainly have a cascading effect on flight operations all over the country.
While Indigo has already alerted its passengers about possible flight delays, the Delhi airport operator DIAL on Sunday night said low visibility procedures are in place at the airport.
The national capital is grappling with high pollution levels which has also resulted in lower visibility levels in various parts of the city.
“Low visibility procedures are in progress at Delhi airport. All flight operations are normal at present,” Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) said in a post on X.
DIAL operates the Indira Gandhi International Airport, which handles around 1,400 flight movements daily.
It also advised passengers to contact the airlines concerned for updated flight information
