A dozen flights were delayed by around 30-40 minutes here this morning as refuelling was affected due to a strike called by the officers of the public sector oil companies that entered the second day today.

"Twelve flights were delayed by around 30-40 minutes since 0800 hrs," Mumbai International Airport (MIAL) spokesperson said here.

All the delayed flights were domestic, he said.

However, night operations were normal and flights operated as per the schedule, the spokesperson said.

Indian Oil Corporation, whose officers are also taking part in the strike, has deployed Territorial Army personnel along with senior management staff at both Delhi and Mumbai airports to carry out the refuelling work.
