Today, January 21, delays in flights have been recorded again at Manas International Airport due to fog. This was reported by representatives of the OJSC "Airports of Kyrgyzstan".

According to the company, a flight from Kazan has been delayed, as well as flights from Sharm El Sheikh and Chengdu.

Currently, the airport is operating as usual.

Experts noted that many passengers are wondering why, despite the presence of modern equipment, problems with flights continue. The fact is that many international airlines adhere to internal regulations. Despite good visibility, the decision to land or delay is made by the pilot. At the moment, visibility is over 1,000 meters, the OJSC added.

It is worth noting that a modern Category III (CAT III) light signaling system was previously installed at the airport, which is supposed to ensure the arrival and departure of aircraft in conditions of fog and poor visibility, significantly reducing the risks of delays and cancellations, as well as increasing the reliability of air traffic, the company reported.
