Ten flights have been diverted from Delhi airport on Monday morning due to fog.
Dense fog affected flight operations at the Delhi airport early this morning as 10 flights approaching the city were diverted to nearby cities, airport officials said.
"These ten flights have been diverted from Delhi airport between 7.45 am and and 9.10 am," an official was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
He said nine domestic flights and one international flight have been diverted. The diversions have been largely due to non-compliance of Cat III B operations. CAT III-B Instrument Landing System (ILS) that allows flights to land safely in low visibility with Runway Visual Range (RVR) of up to 50m with a decision height of 15m.
