Hundreds Flights Delayed Denver, Jammu Floods Disrupt Regional Air Traffic

Heavy fog and low visibility caused significant flight delays at Denver International Airport (DIA) on Wednesday morning, with over 140 flights delayed and three cancellations reported. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) implemented a ground delay program affecting departures within 1,200 miles of DIA, with average delays of around 40 minutes expected to continue until early afternoon. This disruption is part of a broader cool and stormy weather pattern expected to persist in Colorado through the week, although conditions are predicted to improve by the weekend. Separately, Nuuk Airport in Greenland suspended international passenger security screening due to regulatory training deficiencies, causing delays for airlines such as Air Greenland, Icelandair, United Airlines, and Scandinavian Airlines, with domestic flights unaffected. In India, severe flooding in the Jammu region has led Delhi Airport to issue an urgent advisory for travelers to Leh, as the adverse weather causes widespread flight delays and cancellations amid dangerous river surges and landslides.
