Flights to and from the Cape Town International Airport were diverted on Friday morning due to heavy fog, the Airports Company SA (Acsa) said.
The fog resulted in poor visibility at the airport, spokeswoman Deidre Davids said.
Inbound flights were diverted and the outgoing flights delayed.
“Visibility has significantly improved and flights are now once again able to land and depart.”
The plan was to get as many flights as possible moving and to get back on schedule.
“Flight diversions do cause a fair amount of inconvenience, but it is always safety first,” Davids said. - Sapa
