New Delhi: The Delhi Airport authorities and airlines are getting ready with a series of measures to deal with the fog season which causes flight delays every year.
According to the Meteorological Department, the airport will see fog from mid-December to February. Fliers will be worst affected in January, the peak fog season.
The airport authorities have decided to set up additional help desks and put more customer care executives on duty to help out passengers during the fog season. Traffic marshals will be deployed to clear roads leading up to terminals, which get clogged with traffic due to poor visibility. According to airport sources, parking boys will be deployed to deal with fog at the airside.
Air India, which has the largest number of pilots trained to fly in low visibility conditions, is preparing for the fog season. IndiGo spokesperson said the airlines pilots have been adequately trained to fly in the fog season. Besides, all the airlines aircraft are CAT III compliant.
