New Delhi: Dense fog once again hit operations at the IGI Airport here today, disrupting the schedule of around 50 domestic and international flights and leading to diversion of eight others.
Eight domestic and international flights arriving here this morning between 5.30 AM and 9.30 AM were diverted to Ahmedabad, Chandigarh and other airports, airport sources said.
Four Air India flights, including two international ones operating with Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, two SpiceJet flights, including one from Guangzhou and one flight each of JetLite from Ahmedabad and Oman Air from Muscat were diverted.
The flights had to be diverted as either the crew or the aircraft were not compliant to land in such low visibility conditions or runway visibility was below the airline's permissible minimum visibility limit to land in such conditions, they said.
