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.
