Surat: Residents in the Diamond City woke up to dense fog on Friday morning with visibility reducing to just 50 m in several areas like Jehangirpura, Rander, Adajan, Pal and Sachin.
The fog also disrupted the flight operations at the Surat airport and lead to the delay in the running time of the trains from Mumbai and Ahmedabad
The Mumbai-Surat Air India (AI) morning flight was cancelled while the Delhi-Surat flight was diverted to Ahmedabad due to low visibility at the airport. Airport sources said the passengers travelling to Surat were given the option to travel either by train or hire taxi.
Similarly, the passengers bound to Surat from Delhi were flown to Ahmedabad. The flight, which usually arrives at around 8am, arrived late by more than four to five hours.
