Fog causes delays at Bangkok airport

BANGKOK (AP): Heavy fog shrouded Bangkok airport on Friday, causing delays for hundreds of passengers on international and domestic flights, officials said.

At least one dozen international flights from major European cities including Paris, Amsterdam and Munich were diverted to other airports in Thailand, officials said.

Flights were diverted to airports in Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, U-tapao in central Thailand and to Had Yai in the south. Domestic services were also affected.

The Airport Authority of Thailand said six or seven flights were expected to be canceled, including two flights from Cambodia to Bangkok. However, as the fog cleared in the late morning, services were resuming.
