Dense fog across the national capital and adjoining regions disrupted flight operations at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport on Monday, prompting airlines to issue travel advisories and warning passengers of possible delays and cancellations. Delhi Airport said flight operations were being carried out under CAT III conditions due to reduced visibility, which could impact schedules, according to a report by the Economic Times.
The airport informed passengers that ground teams were deployed on-site to assist travellers and advised them to check the latest flight status directly with their respective airlines, while expressing regret for the inconvenience caused.
Passenger Advisory issued at 07:00 hours.
