Several domestic flights bound for Delhi were diverted to Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport (ATQ), late Friday night, after heavy rain and poor visibility disrupted operations in the national capital, triggering a cascading impact across multiple airports.According to officials, adverse weather conditions in Delhi NCR, including intense rainfall and low visibility, severely affected flight movements at Indira Gandhi International Airport, forcing diversions and delays.Airport sources said flights were initially diverted to Jaipur, Lucknow and Ahmedabad. However, after parking bays at these airports were exhausted, further diversions were redirected to Amritsar after 11:30 pm.In total, 10 flights, including one diversion shortly before midnight the previous day, were rerouted from Delhi to Amritsar. These included five IndiGo flights (from Kolkata, Jammu, Guwahati, Udaipur and Patna), three Air India flights (from Bengaluru, Mumbai and Raipur), and one SpiceJet flight from Mumbai.Sources revealed that several of the diverted aircraft were critically low on fuel and issued “Mayday” calls before landing, highlighting the severity of the situation.Despite the operational pressure and sudden influx, authorities at Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport managed all diversions safely. “All aircraft were accommodated and handled efficiently,” an airport official said.As of Saturday morning, eight of the diverted aircraft had successfully departed from Amritsar, while operations gradually returned to normalcy as weather conditions in Delhi improved later in the night.Passengers, however, faced inconvenience due to delays and prolonged disruptions across the network.
