About 10 to 15 flights, due to take off Wednesday morning from the domestic airport, were delayed by 30 minutes to an hour due to poor visibility, an airport official said.

The fog led to runway visibility dropping below the required 750 metres, thus affecting the flight schedules of various airlines, he said.

“The visibility fell to 625 metres and only a single runway was operational in the morning. Visibility is likely to improve as the day progresses.”
