Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in Delhi has issued an important advisory regarding low visibility conditions that may affect flight operations. According to the airport authority, flights that are not compliant with CAT III (Category III Instrument Landing System) may experience disruptions, including delays or diversions. The advisory was issued in light of the ongoing foggy conditions that are expected to persist in the coming days.
CAT III compliant aircraft are equipped with advanced avionics and systems that allow them to land safely in reduced visibility, typically experienced during dense fog or heavy rainfall. Non-CAT III compliant flights, however, rely on clearer visibility and may face difficulties landing or departing under these weather conditions.
The Delhi Airport management has advised passengers to stay updated on their flight status and check for any potential delays or diversions, as the weather conditions may lead to scheduling adjustments. Airport authorities are working closely with airlines to ensure safety measures are in place for all passengers.
Travelers flying into or out of Delhi during this period are urged to plan accordingly and remain in touch with their respective airlines for real-time updates. The airport has assured that efforts are being made to minimize inconvenience caused by the adverse weather. Passengers are also recommended to arrive early at the airport, as extra time may be required for additional checks and adjustments to flight schedules.
With Delhi experiencing its usual winter fog, low visibility has historically been a challenge for air travel. The airport's advisory aims to ensure that passengers are aware of the possible impacts and can make informed decisions regarding their travel plans.
