Airlines to reschedule winter flights

The civil aviation ministry has asked all domestic airlines to reschedule their flights in view of foggy conditions that set in every winter and inform passengers well in advance of changes.
'The government has issued certain guidelines to ensure comfort for passengers during the winter season as flights often get delayed due to foggy conditions in the airport,' Director General Civil Aviation K. Gohain told reporters Friday on the sidelines of the India-European Union aviation summit here.
A number of flights get delayed every year during winter resulting in a large number of passengers getting stranded at north Indian airports. The fog reduces visibility to minimum, making it difficult for aircraft to take off, especially during morning and evening hours.
