Flight operations at Delhi airport were hit on Friday as changing weather conditions led to delays, schedule disruptions and congestion across multiple routes. Passengers were advised to stay updated as airlines adjusted operations in real time.
Flights Delayed As Conditions Worsen
Unfavourable weather over the national capital caused several incoming and outgoing flights to run behind schedule. Some services were delayed at the runway stage, while others had to be rescheduled as air traffic movement slowed.
Passengers reported longer waiting times at terminals as airlines worked to manage the sudden operational pressure.
