New Delhi: Dense fog conditions are likely to hit the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) between December 23 and January 7, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Friday.
To ensure passenger convenience and minimise flight delays, the IGIA will, for the first time, have a Delhi Airport Collaborative Decision Making (DA-CDM) system, which will display the exact time when the fog will lift so that aircraft in queue for take-off and arrival can be informed in advance. This will help solve boarding issues at the terminal, officials said.
Director-in-charge of IMD (IGIA) R K Jenamani said, “This year, dense fog conditions are likely to hit IGIA between December 23 and January 7. The fog conditions will prevail only for 15 days as opposed to 20 days last year. Flight operations will be affected during this period.”
