NEW DELHI: As the national capital continues to deal with high levels of air pollution, Delhi Airport issued an advisory for passengers on Thursday, noting that all flight operations remain normal but that “Low Visibility Procedures” are in effect. Passengers are advised to check with their airlines for updated flight details.
“Low Visibility Procedures are in progress at Delhi Airport. All flight operations are presently normal. Passengers are requested to contact the airline concerned for updated flight information,” reads the advisory.
