Gurgaon: With flight schedules being disrupted due to fog, resulting in chaos at airports, private airlines have approached the Defence Ministry to open military airports around Delhi to the civilian aircrafts.
The logic is to lessen delays due to diversion of flights to other airports, which are far from Delhi, SpiceJet chairman Siddhanta Sharma said.
Meanwhile, SpiceJet today announced that it had got the cat ii certification from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
The low cost carrier is aiming to be Cat III(A) compliant by June 2007.
