Delhi Airport's runway upgrade
The incident comes amid ongoing disruptions at Delhi Airport, where maintenance work on Runway 10/28 has significantly impacted flight schedules. Airport authorities have announced plans to temporarily reopen the runway in the first week of May to alleviate congestion. This comes as nearly 900 flights were affected in a single day.
The runway has been undergoing an Instrument Landing System (ILS) upgrade aimed at improving low-visibility landings ahead of the winter season. The closure had reduced the airport's arrival capacity from 45 to around 31–32 flights per hour, leading to widespread delays and operational bottlenecks.
