Thick fog enveloped Delhi-NCR on February 2, 2026, slashing visibility and forcing Indira Gandhi International Airport into CAT III operations.

Delhi-NCR faced another bout of dense fog on February 2, 2026—a recurring winter issue disrupting air travel and traffic. Visibility plummeted, leading Indira Gandhi International Airport to activate CAT III instrument landing systems for low-visibility operations.

Conditions were dire elsewhere in north India: Sarsawa, Agra, Bareilly, and Hindon airports in Uttar Pradesh, plus Bhatinda in Punjab, logged zero visibility. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) highlighted fog and smog effects, poor air quality, traffic snarls, and advised checking flight statuses.

This follows similar incidents earlier in the season, underscoring persistent challenges for aviation in the region during winter.
