Dense fog: Air India issues travel advisory; warns of possible flight disruptions

NEW DELHI: Air India on Wednesday night issued a travel advisory alerting passengers about possible flight disruptions over the next few days due to dense fog conditions in northern and eastern India.

The advisory highlights that Delhi along with several other airports in the region, may experience reduced visibility, which could affect flight operations.


"Over the next few days, potential dense fog conditions resulting in poor visibility may impact flight operations at our primary hub in Delhi, and a few airports in northern and eastern India, with a cascading effect in some other cities across our network," it said.

Passengers were advised to check the status of their flights at Air India’s official website before heading to the airport, especially during the busy holiday season.


The airline said it has taken multiple proactive steps to reduce the impact of fog-related disruptions, ensuring that operations remain as smooth as possible under challenging weather conditions.

It said it has also launched its 'FogCare' initiative, which allows passengers booked on flights likely to be affected to receive advance alerts on their registered phone numbers. Under this scheme, travellers have the option to reschedule flights without extra charges or request a full refund if they prefer not to travel.

"We sincerely solicit your patience and support to help us make your travel experience better. The safety and wellbeing of our guests and crew remain our top priority," Air India said.
