A painful annual ritual at the Indira Gandhi International Airport is back despite promises that it would be kept away.
On Friday, dense fog disrupted flight schedules for more than eight hours and caused inconvenience to thousands of passengers, like it does this time of every year.
About 250 flights, international and domestic, were delayed between 30 minutes and six hours. Thirty-one flights were cancelled and seven were diverted to other airports as visibility dropped below 50 metres in the early hours. Visibility improved only around 11 am.
