Delhi Airport Sees Over 100 Flight Delays Due to Dense Fog; No Diversions Reported

Delhi airport witnessed delays for over 100 flights on Friday morning due to adverse weather conditions, an official reported. Dense fog in the national capital caused low visibility, resulting in the flight disruptions. The official further stated that, although more than 100 flights were delayed, no diversions have been reported so far.

"While landing and takeoffs continue at Delhi Airport, flights that are not CAT III compliant may get affected. Passengers are requested to contact the airline concerned for updated flight information. Any inconvenience caused is deeply regretted," Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) said in a post on X.
