Trains delayed and flight routes modified by fog
There has been a significant change in the weather in Delhi-NCR since Sunday. As the temperature drops in Delhi, the fog has increased. Train movement and flights have been affected due to fog and air pollution. Due to low visibility due to bad weather, 14 flights were diverted at Delhi airport and several flights were delayed. An officer gave this information.
The flights of these companies were affected
He said visibility has reduced due to fog in Delhi. Due to this, the operation of aircraft has been affected. Airlines such as Air India, ‘SpiceJet’ and ‘IndiGo’ have informed passengers through social media platforms that flights may be affected due to low visibility in the national capital, which is battling high levels of pollution.
Flights were diverted to Jaipur
The official said that between 8.30 am and 3 pm, out of 14 flights, 13 were diverted to Jaipur and one to Dehradun. He said some pilots had not received training for ‘CAT-3’ operations.
