Ten flights were cancelled at Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, New Delhi, on Wednesday morning due to low visibility conditions, airport authorities said. Meanwhile, flight operations at Chennai International Airport were also disrupted on Wednesday morning after dense fog and adverse weather conditions in Delhi and other northern states led to the cancellation of 11 flights, airport authorities said. According to an official statement, four departing flights and seven arriving flights were cancelled during the day. The cancellations were attributed to persistent dense fog, poor weather, and air pollution affecting flight operations across Delhi and several northern regions over the past few days.
