Dense fog shrouds Delhi, zero visibility persists for 9 hours
A thick blanket of fog enveloped the national capital on Saturday, causing zero visibility for an unprecedented nine consecutive hours.
Bagdogra Airport faced temporary disruptions today as dense fog forced the diversion of five flights—four Indigo and one SpiceJet—to alternative airports. The first flight managed to land at Bagdogra at 11.44 a.m. once visibility improved.
Airport authorities confirmed that no passengers faced inconvenience, thanks to proactive capacity-building measures by the Airports Authority of India (AAI). Despite the diversions, no flights were cancelled, and all diverted flights subsequently landed and departed from Bagdogra without further delays.
