CHENNAI: Flight services from Chennai airport to New Delhi airport and vice versa were affected due to the dense fog in Delhi on Wednesday.
The arrivals from Delhi have been delayed by 15 to 30 minutes, said an Airport Authority of India (AAI) official. Similarly, some flights en route to Delhi
in the morning were diverted to Jaipur due to the weather condition.

likely to reach Delhi around noon. The same flight which will later return to Chennai by around 12.40 PM will now arrive at around 3.40 PM
“Almost all airlines have been hit. The delay has also affected the departure of many flights,” said AAI official said.
