Dense fog: IndiGo issues travel advisory; warns of potential flight delays

IndiGo airlines issued a travel advisory on Tuesday night warning passengers about potential flight delays and disruptions expected Wednesday morning due to foggy conditions across North and East India, with the airline implementing measures to manage schedules and assist customers while ensuring safety during reduced visibility conditions.
"As the morning approaches under misty winter skies, fog is predicted across parts of North and East India, which may lead to reduced visibility and a slower pace of flight movements during the early hours. In the interest of safety, some flights may experience delays or adjustments," IndiGo posted on X.



The airline assured that their teams are prepared to handle the situation and maintain smooth operations across airports.

"Our teams across airports are fully prepared and working in close coordination to manage schedules smoothly, assist customers, and maintain a steady flow of operations," the airline stated.

Passengers were advised to plan their travel with extra buffer time and monitor flight status through IndiGo's website or app.

"Foggy conditions may also impact road traffic, with slower movement and longer travel times expected while commuting to the airport. Customers travelling early are advised to plan with additional buffer time and check the latest flight status on our website or app before leaving home," IndiGo added.

The combination of dense fog and hazardous pollution levels has significantly impacted visibility in the early morning hours, affecting air traffic operations across the capital region.

Airport authorities and airlines continue to issue advisories urging passengers to remain alert and adjust their travel plans accordingly.
