As many as 27 flights of various airlines were cancelled and many more delayed at Delhi Airport on Thursday due to dense fog and subsequent drop in visibility, a DIAL official said.
“As of now, 27 flights are cancelled — 16 departures and 11 arrivals — at Delhi Airport due to dense fog and low visibility,” the Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) official said.
In a passenger advisory Thursday morning, DIAL said due to dense fog, “flight operations are currently under CAT-III conditions, which may lead to delays or disruptions.”

For this type of operation, not only should the pilots be trained, but the aircraft must also be compliant.
