Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) announced on Friday (June 6) that 114 daily flights- approximately 7.5 per cent of total operations- will be cancelled for a period of three months starting June 15 (Sunday), owing to upgradation work on one of the airport’s key runways, RW 10/28. The runway will remain closed from June 15 to September 15 as part of infrastructure enhancements aimed at improving flight safety and operational efficiency, particularly during low-visibility conditions in winter. The primary component of the upgrade involves the enhancement of the Instrument Landing System (ILS), which will be upgraded to Category III (CAT III) standards. This upgrade will enable aircraft to operate during dense fog, a recurring challenge at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA).
