Flight Cancellations: Amid low visibility caused by dense fog and a thick layer of smog, flight operations at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport were severely disrupted on Monday morning, marking the season’s first major spell of winter fog in the national capital.
According to flight tracking website FlightRadar24, at least 100 flights were cancelled, while over 300 others were delayed at the Delhi airport. Visibility dropped sharply during the early morning hours, forcing airlines to slow down operations and reschedule several flights to ensure passenger safety.Several departures were delayed as pilots and ground staff followed low-visibility procedures. The dense fog reduced runway visibility, affecting both take-offs and landings and leading to congestion at terminals.
