IndiGo Issues Travel Advisory, Dense Fog May Disrupt Flights in North India

The airline said reduced visibility during the early hours could impact flight operations, potentially leading to delays or schedule changes.

In a statement, IndiGo said its operations teams will remain fully prepared through the night and will closely monitor weather conditions on a minute-by-minute basis to minimise inconvenience to passengers. The airline also thanked travellers for their patience during seasonal weather disruptions.

“Early-morning fog is expected to affect visibility across Delhi and parts of northern India. During these hours, visibility can suddenly reduce, impacting flight operations,” the advisory said, adding that passenger safety remains its top priority.

IndiGo advised travellers to check the latest flight status before heading to the airport through its official link. Passengers whose flights are affected can rebook or request refunds via the airline’s website.

Reiterating its commitment to keeping passengers informed, the airline said it will remain vigilant to ensure smooth travel despite challenging weather conditions and thanked passengers for their understanding.

Dense fog is common in northern India during winter and often disrupts air, rail, and road transport. Earlier on Saturday, 66 arrival and departure flights were cancelled at Indira Gandhi International Airport due to low visibility.

On the same day, Delhi Airport issued a passenger advisory stating that low-visibility procedures were underway, although all flight operations were functioning normally.

In its 7:00 am statement, Delhi Airport advised passengers to contact their respective airlines for the latest flight updates.

Meanwhile, four flights were cancelled at Srinagar Airport, including three flights to and from Amritsar and Delhi, due to adverse weather conditions in those cities.
