Delhi airport advisory: Low visibility may affect non-CAT III compliant flights | India News
NEW DELHI: Delhi airport on Wednesday issued an advisory alerting passengers about potential disruptions to flights that are not CAT III compliant due to low-visibility conditions. Travellers are advised to contact their respective airlines for updated flight information.
A thin layer of fog blanketed parts of Delhi this morning, with the minimum temperature recorded at 9°C. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted the possibility of dense fog in the coming hours, further impacting visibility.
While Delhi airport is equipped with a CAT III-enabled runway, capable of facilitating safe landings under low-visibility conditions, flights without CAT III compliance may face delays or cancellations.
CAT III, or Category III, is a precision approach system that enables aircraft to land safely during severe fog or poor visibility, ensuring operational continuity for compliant flights, according to ANI.
The authority has urged passengers to stay updated on flight schedules and plan their travel accordingly.
