The season’s worst fog spell disrupted flight operations at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International airport early on Friday morning, affecting close to 100 departing flights and leaving hundreds of passengers stranded.
However, no incoming flights had to be diverted and no cancellations were reported.
Officials said arrangements have been put in place inside the terminal buildings to minimize inconvenience to passengers and they are better prepared to fight the fog menace this season with 100-metre visibility metre— a newly installed equipment that will help them read the vertical profile of the fog, helping in much more accurate prediction.
