NEW DELHI: For the third day in a row, flight operations remained affected at the airport due to severe fog conditions. Four flights were diverted between 9 am and 12 noon to Jaipur airport. While the reason cited for the diversion was the dense fog, airport sources attributed the reason to the inefficient training of pilots.
Officials said 10 out of 16 flights diverted in the last two days happened because their pilots were not trained enough to land the planes in CAT-III condition which the Delhi airport has been facing since Monday when the visibility dipped to 175 meters.
