New Delhi: Due to heavy rain and thunderstorm in Delhi, at least 140 flights ( 90 at the departure terminal and 44 at arrivals) have been delayed so far at Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) and many diverted to Jaipur.
“Due to bad weather, flight operations at Delhi airport are affected. Passengers are requested to get in touch with the airline concerned for updated flight information,” the Delhi International Airport said in a tweet.
