Early this morning flights leaving Port Elizabeth airport were reported grounding due to a thick mist.
Reports said the low hanging clouds also caused delays for planes leaving the Cape Town International Airport.
Airports Company of South Africa expected the mist to clear in a short period of time.
ACSA’s Collin Naidoo said passengers at Port Elizabeth Airport were forced to wait for the skies to clear.
Meanwhile American aircraft manufacturer Boeing has send a team to India to provide technical assistance in the investigation of the Air India plane crash in Mangalore.
