A thick fog disturbs the order
Dense fog is common in North India during winter, especially in the early morning hours. This phenomenon disrupts air, rail and road transport.
Earlier, 66 arrivals and departures were canceled at the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Saturday due to low visibility due to dense fog, news agency ANI reported.
On Saturday, the Delhi airport also issued a passenger advisory saying low visibility procedures were underway. Delhi Airport also noted that all flight operations in the city are functioning normally.
In a statement at 7:00 a.m., the airport advised passengers to contact their respective airlines for the latest flight updates.
“Low visibility procedures are still underway at Delhi airport. All flight operations are functioning normally. Passengers are advised to contact their respective airlines for the latest flight updates,” the statement said.
Meanwhile, four flights were canceled at Srinagar airport. Among them, three flights to and from Amritsar and Delhi were canceled due to inclement weather in those cities.
