• Does Fog Delay Flights?

Yes, fog can cause flight delays. Fog can reduce visibility, making it harder for pilots to see the runway, so they need to use alternative navigation methods to land the plane safely. Fog can also cause turbulence, making it difficult for planes to take off and land. Depending on the severity of the fog, airports can issue a ground delay, meaning they can't accept new take-off requests or landings until the fog is cleared.
