· 1 min read

BBC Nes:

Dense fog has caused travel chaos in India’s capital Delhi, with dozens of flights and trains affected.

Report say 50 flights and nearly two dozen trains have been delayed.

According to the flight tracking app flightradar24, hundreds of departing flights were delayed by 25 minutes on an average and flight arrivals were delayed by eight minutes.

But passengers have been complaining of being stranded for hours at the airport.

Delhi airport authorities had issued a flight advisory on Monday, asking passengers to contact their airlines to check for updated flight information.

“While landings and take-offs continue at Delhi airport, flights that are not CAT III compliant may get affected,” the advisory read. CAT III runways make it possible for planes to land during poor visibility.

In December, fog and poor visibility in the city had resulted in more than 100 flights being delayed. The airport witnessed massive travel chaos in January too, with dozens of people taking to social media to complain about delays and cancellations.
