IGI Airport flights affected due to heavy fog; Authorities issue advisory to passengers

New Delhi: Delhi Airport on Monday issued a passenger advisory after thick fog affected operations at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi.

The advisory reads, "While landings and take-offs continue at Delhi Airport, flights that are not CAT III compliant may get affected. Passengers are requested to contact the airline concerned for updated flight information. Any inconvenience caused is deeply regretted."

The airport authorities initiated the anti-fog landing system, technically called the CAT-lll Instrument Landing System (ILS). The CAT III system helps with a precision approach and landing when the runway visibility level is low.

Flight operations at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad also got affected due to dense fog. (with Agency inputs)
