While Met officials ascribed the cause of diversion to the first spell of fog this season, the airport operator said they were for "airline operational reasons only". "Either the aircraft attempting to land at IGI early morning were not CAT-IIIB compliant or pilots of these flights were not trained in CAT-IIIB," said an official for DIAL, the airport operator.
R K Jenamani, director-in-charge of IGI Met, said the densest spell of fog arrived at the capital between 7.30 and 10am.
"Winds picked up by 11 clearing the fog. But there may be a fresh spell on Wednesday morning," he added.Trouble was also in store for passengers of Jet Airways as their flights to Indore, Bhopal, Jaipur and Udaipur were reportedly cancelled on Tuesday. Airline officials said that the number of cancellations on Tuesday was three. Customers said they had a hard time dealing with the unexpected cancellations.
"We were informed at about 2 in the afternoon that our flight to Indore won't fly, and that there were no flights tomorrow as well. While we have arranged to stay at a friend's place till then there were people who'd come from elsewhere who had no place to stay who were severely inconvenienced," said Tanushree, a passenger.
