But the situation changed within 40 minutes and visibility at main runway dropped to 125 metres at one end forcing the authorities to implement low visibility procedures.

The visibility remained around 100 metres at the third runway till 6am, which left it operational for arriving flight as the minimum visibility for take-off is required 125 metres and 150 metres for small and big aircraft.

Operations at the airport had remained normal for the past two days even as it witnessed moderate to shallow fog.
