Delhi airport experiencing delays due to high temperature, says civil ministry official

Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport faces flight delays amid soaring surface temperatures, affecting operations. Safety protocols are strictly followed, with flights occasionally delayed until wind speeds stabilize. High temperatures thin the air, impacting aircraft lift during takeoff and causing mid-air turbulence. Airlines adjust by reducing fuel or baggage, and in extreme cases, even offloading passengers. The scorching weather also exacerbates water shortages in the capital.
