Several flights from Delhi's IGI airport diverted due to bad weather

NEW DELHI: Departure of flights from Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport on Friday resumed an hour after they were halted due to bad weather, officials said.

The departures were put on hold from 7 pm because of dust storms in the area. Arrivals, however, were on schedule.


At least eight flights were diverted from the Delhi airport because of foggy conditions as several airlines issued advisories and updates about their flights.

“#TravelUpdate Due to bad weather in Delhi, flights to and from Delhi may be impacted,” tweeted Vistara airlines.


“Due to heavy air traffic congestion at #Delhi airport, there have been delays in flight departures and arrivals. Do keep a track of your flight status in advance,” Indigo tweeted.
