New Delhi: The Indira Gandhi International Airport suffered two hours of CAT-III dense fog on Thursday morning, affecting flight schedules that forced at least eight diversions and delayed over 50 flights.
“The airport suffered CAT-III dense fog on both runways from 7.30 am till 9.30 am on Thursday. The runway visibility during the period remained below 200 m,” Director-in-charge of IGI Met Department, R K Jenamani, said, adding that the fog could be attributed to the slight rainfall early this week.
