After remaining disrupted for almost a week due to dense fog, flight operations at the IGI airport were normal on Monday.
“Air operations were normal and all flights were operating as per schedule as there was no fog and the visibility remained over 2,000 metres at the airport early in the morning,” an airport official said.
The runway visibility was above 2,000 metres on Sunday night and early Monday morning but it dropped to a low of 1,300 metres after 7 am as shallow fog descended on the airport, a Met official said.
Though shallow fog did not cause any disruption to flight movement, one flight each of Jet airways and Jetlite was cancelled while few others were delayed due to operational reasons.
In view of the foggy conditions, some international carriers have already rescheduled their flights.
Thick fog had badly affected air operations at the IGI airport for the past six days, leading to cancellation of 85 flights and delaying around 780 others.
