New Delhi/IBNS: Over 160 flights have been impacted as thick fog continued to cover parts of the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) on Sunday morning, resulting in reduced visibility for the third straight day.

According to reports, the operations at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) were hit severely, with more than 155 delays reported for aircraft not equipped with advanced CAT III navigation systems.

At least eight flights were cancelled on Sunday morning as the general visibility at the airport was zero at 7:30 am.

The Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), in an update issued around 7 am, reassured travellers that landings and takeoffs were ongoing.

However, it cautioned that non-CAT III-compliant flights might face delays.
