Fog reduces visibility

Bengaluru: The fog, which enveloped Kempegowda International Airport on Saturday morning reduced visibility from 1,000 metres to 100 metres in a mere eight minutes between 3.51 a.m. and 3.59 a.m., according to the Meteorological Department station at the airport.

As visibility reduced further to around 50 metres between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m., operations were stalled and several passengers were forced to wait for upwards of four hours before their flights finally took off.

“I wanted to go home and thought I would take an early morning flight to Delhi before flying onward to Imphal. However, my flight took off at 9.35 a.m. instead of 7.10 a.m. I missed my onward flight that was at 10.30 a.m. The next flight is only available on Sunday and I will have to pay more for the ticket now,” rued Mahesh Paonam, who works in the city.
