New Delhi : Thousands of passengers had a harrowing time at Delhi airport Wednesday morning as a dense fog delayed over 80 flights in and out of the national capital.
Airport officials said almost all the morning flights were badly affected and the backlog was bound to cause a ripple down effect.
The runway visibility fell below 100 meters between 5.30 a.m. and 9 a.m., making it impossible for flights to take off or land.
“The fog is slowly lifting but delays will be inevitable,” said an airport spokesperson.
Although some flights took off using CAT-3B system after 10 a.m., the backlog of delayed flights was so heavy that airport authorities had a tough time rescheduling flights and catering to irate passengers.
