Delhi airport's runway 28/10 reopens, set to ease air traffic congestion

Delhi airport's runway RW 28/10, which was shut for maintenance works, resumed operations on Tuesday, a development that is likely to ease air traffic congestion. Initially, the runway was to remain closed for a longer period to complete the Instrument Landing System (ILS) upgradation on one end, ahead of the fog season. However, the closure of the runway, easterly winds and congestion impacted flight operations. Against this backdrop, the maintenance works have been temporarily stopped and will resume in mid-June. "As per approved plan with all stakeholders, Delhi airport handed over RW 28/10 to ATC at 8:04 am today for operations till mid June. "This addition will further aid in streamlining operations and smoother arrivals and departures for passengers in the unseasonal varying wind conditions that are continuing. "We prioritise passenger experience and appreciate your understanding and support," Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) said in a post on X on Tuesday. The runway w

Delhi airport: 3 flights diverted, 500+ delayed due to inclement weather

Three flights were diverted and more than 500 flights were delayed at the Delhi airport on Friday as thunderstorms and gusty winds disrupted operations.

An official said two flights that were to land at the Delhi airport were diverted to Jaipur and one to Ahmedabad in the morning.
