Other passengers said they were not informed of delays.
“My Indian Airlines flight from Trivandrum was scheduled to arrive in Delhi at 10.30 am and reached on time. But as soon as we reached, the pilot said we’d have to circle the airport due to low visibility. The aircraft finally landed at 1 pm after hovering for two-and-a-half hours,” said Sunita Arora. However, airline officials said they had sent SMSes which might not reached due to jammed networks on New Year’s Day.
