This development comes amid dense fog in the region, which has been disrupting transportation across multiple sectors. On December 25, Delhi Airport cautioned that flights not compliant with CAT III standards could face delays or cancellations.
CAT III, or Category III, is a precision approach system designed to enable safe landings in poor visibility conditions. Flights equipped with CAT III technology are generally unaffected under such circumstances.
While flights remained largely operational, train services heading to the national capital continued to experience significant delays. According to reports, at least 18 trains were running late, with some delayed by over 200 minutes. The dense fog and cold wave conditions have further compounded the challenges for commuters.
