New Delhi: With the Met predicting a blanket of fog over the city from December 20, the airport authorities are readying themselves for the possible delays and diversions . The operator of IGI airport, Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), said on Friday that they made arrangements, such as providing real-time information to passengers on flight timings, installing more help desks and redistribution of time slots among the domestic airlines, to deal with any crisis.
"The peak hours for departure of domestic flights — from 5am to 9am — which also witness maximum fog, will be divided into 13 slots. The airlines will be allotted the slots depending on the number of flights they are operating; they will be free to prioritize the take-offs .
