Dense fog once again returned to disrupt air operations at the IGI airport in New Delhi on Friday, leading to diversions of four domestic and international flights. After dense fog enveloped the airport last night, three domestic and one international flight was diverted to Jaipur, Kolkata and
Bangalore, an airport official said.
An Air India flight from Vadodra and Kingfisher flight from Jaipur were diverted to Jaipur around 12.15 AM. A Jet Airways flight was diverted to Kolkata and Air India flight from Bangalore was sent back due to poor visibility at the airport.
