New Delhi: Over a dozen flights were delayed at the IGI Airport here this morning due to dense fog.
"Fog become dense around 6 AM and visibility dropped to below 100 metres on the new runway around 8 AM, leading to delay in departure of around 15 flights," airport sources said.
The poor visibility on both the runways forced airport authorities to implement low visibility procedures on new runway (11/29) around 5.55 AM and on main runway (10/28).
As visibility dropped further between 8 AM and 9 AM, departure of some of the flights had to be delayed, sources said.
However, low visibility procedures were terminated by 9.40 AM.
