More than 500 flights were delayed in Delhi on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aviation regulator said in an email to airlines that they are required to share accurate, real-time information about flight

city&#8217;s Indira Gandhi International Airport was not operational from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Sunday (2230 GMT Saturday to 0530 GMT on Sunday) because of dense fog, the official said, leading to massive delays at airports across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India&#8217;s federal aviation minister said the use of an additional runway was being expedited, equipped with the CAT III navigation system, which enables aircraft to land even when visibility is low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The country&#8217;s weather office has predicted dense fog and a cold wave in New Delhi for Monday and &#8220;very dense fog&#8221; on Tuesday, with a minimum temperature of 4 degrees Celsius (39.2 degrees Fahrenheit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Stuck in a plane at Delhi Airport since the past two hours (literally on
