Heavy rain causes waterlogging at Delhi airport; 11 flights diverted, hundreds delayed
NEW DELHI: Heavy rain that lashed Delhi on Friday afternoon caused severe inconvenience to flyers, both on the ground and in the air.
Two of the three terminals at Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) suffered waterlogging in the forecourt and subway, forcing people to wade through water. Eleven incoming flights to Delhi, including an international flight, were diverted to neighbouring airports.
All roads leading to the airport witnessed huge traffic snarls, raising the possibility of many flyers missing their flights.
