On Sunday morning, a dense fog enveloped Delhi and various parts of the country, causing transportation disruptions. A total of 22 trains connecting the national capital experienced delays, while RK Puram recorded a minimum temperature of 7 degrees. The thick fog led to zero visibility in the airport area, posing a potential threat to flight schedules. Anticipating the weather conditions, Delhi Airport had issued a fog alert the previous night, advising travelers to stay in touch with their airlines for the latest flight updates.
Despite the challenging visibility conditions, both landings and takeoffs were ongoing at Delhi Airport. However, flights not compliant with CATIII standards were at risk of being affected. Passengers were urged to stay informed by contacting their respective airlines for real-time flight information. Additionally, the air quality in several areas plummeted to the ‘severe’ category.
