Dust storm at Delhi airport, flights delayed
Meanwhile Delhi airport experienced severe delays in flights on Saturday due to strong dust storms and gusty winds in the national capital. As per sources, over 450 flights were delayed and at least 50 flights were diverted from their scheduled destination impacting hundreds of fliers.
“After the dust storm, many flights were diverted and cancelled, and this caused inconvenience to passengers waiting for their flights at Delhi airport. The diverted flight took time to reach Delhi, and this led to rush at the airport,” a Delhi airport official told news agency ANI.
Many frustrated passengers also shared their ordeal, especially people travelling with children and the elderly and those undergoing treatment.
