At least 18 Delhi-bound flights were diverted, while many others were delayed on Saturday due to low visibility and bad weather at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport, said airport sources.
According to airport sources, the 18 flights were diverted to other cities, including Jaipur, Lucknow, Ahmedabad and Amritsar, between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. as the national capital witnessed its first spell of the fog of the season.
The airport initiated low visibility procedures (LVP)–measures aimed at making landing for flights easier–when visibility dropped below 800 metres.
