Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport witnessed disruption in its flight operations due to dense fog prevailing in the city on Tuesday. Approximately 60 arrivals and 58 departures were cancelled at the airport, and 16 flights bound for Delhi were diverted to other cities due to fog.
The airport urged travellers to reconfirm their flight status with their respective airlines before heading to the airport, noting that weather-related disruptions can lead to last-minute schedule changes.
