Dense fog affects flight operations, delays trains in Delhi, and reopens schools at limited hours

Delhi and northern India are still shrouded in dense fog, which makes it difficult for trains and airplanes to link the nation’s capital with other parts of the country. Airlines sent messages to a number of passengers alerting them to the severe delays caused by the fog.

Delhi’s schools are resuming today after a two-week winter vacation, however there will be limited hours due to the extreme weather.

Fog at the Delhi Airport has also caused many aircraft delays, keeping a large number of travelers waiting for their departures. Due to fogy mornings, a number of airlines have recommended passengers to remain updated on the specifics of their trip.

Delhi Airport has also issued an alert asking travelers to get in touch with airlines in advance of their trip due to the extreme fog conditions.

“Delhi Airport flight operations may be affected by dense fog.” For the most recent flight information, passengers are advised to contact the relevant airline, the airport authorities said in a statement on “X.”

Remorse for any difficulty caused was also conveyed in the message.

Earlier on Sunday, limited visibility and thick fog in North India hindered IndiGo flight operations, creating difficulty for air passengers.
