New Delhi: The daily Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight from Kuala Lumpur (KL) to the Indian capital has been diverted due to thick fog hanging over the city since Sunday night and most of today.
A MAS flight that departed from Malaysia to New Delhi, Sunday carrying about 200 passengers was diverted to Kolkata after authorities at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi started to divert flights entering the Indian airspace.
Another 200 passengers heading to KL are currently stranded at the Delhi airport as most flight operations were disrupted with runway visibility dropping to about 130 metres.
And, the passengers flying to KL, who are stranded in Delhi, can only leave the airport Tuesday if the sky is clear.
Another MAS flight which departed from KL to Delhi, Monday is yet to arrive. The national airline has only one flight to Delhi daily.
