Delhi Airport is experiencing major operational challenges due to persistent dense fog and extremely poor visibility. For the second consecutive day, more than 100 flights have been canceled, and over 200 more delayed, as airlines and airport authorities prioritize passenger safety and navigational limits amid difficult weather.
This ongoing disruption has seen a large number of scheduled flights unable to depart or arrive, leaving thousands of travelers stranded or forced to make alternate arrangements. Airlines continue to monitor the situation closely, adjusting departure and arrival times as weather conditions dictate. However, the prevailing visibility issues have made it unsafe for many flights to operate, necessitating cancellations across multiple carriers.
The airport remains on high alert as foggy conditions persist. Passengers are being regularly updated by airlines about further schedule changes, and additional delays and service interruptions may occur if weather patterns do not improve.
Authorities urge all travelers to check flight status before heading to the airport and to keep in contact with their airlines for the most up-to-date information.
