As many as nine flights of various airlines were diverted Friday due to low visibility and fog that engulfed the Delhi airport for about two hours in the morning, an official said.

Delhi airport is CAT IIIB compliant, where flights can land in visibility as low as 50 metre.

However, the diversions on Friday were on account of non-compliant aircraft and flights crew, low-fuel and ATC congestion, the Delhi airport official said.

All the diversions took place between 8.30 am and 10 am, the official said, adding after that the visibility improved.

As per the DGCA norms, airlines are required to deploy only CAT-IIIB compliant planes as well as trained crew for operations in dense fog during winter.

Of the nine flights that were diverted out of Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), three flights each were of SpiceJet and GoAir, while two were of Air India. An IndiGo flight was also diverted during the period, the official said.

He, however, did not give the details of the airports where these flights were diverted to.

Most of the airlines had informed passengers through social media on the possible impact of the weather conditions around Delhi airport.
