JAMMU, Jan 11: Thick fog slashed visibility at Jammu Airport Sunday morning, delaying seven flights and stranding passengers amid peak winter woes.
An airport official confirmed the snags stemmed from low-visibility conditions, impacting outbound services to Delhi, Indore, and Ahmedabad. Jammu-Srinagar routes bore the brunt with two flights held up, while two Leh-bound ones also idled on the tarmac.
Dense fog made takeoffs unsafe, forcing holds until skies cleared. Travelers crowded the terminal, awaiting airline tweaks to schedules.
Operations should normalize as visibility lifts later, officials assured. The Jammu Airport Authority urged passengers to check with carriers for real-time updates, a staple advisory as fog routinely hammers regional air travel this season.
