IndiGo alerts: Dense fog may disrupt flights across North India; travel advisory issued

NEW DELHI: IndiGo on Saturday issued a travel advisory for passengers, warning that early-morning fog in Delhi and parts of northern India could disrupt flights on Sunday. The airline said reduced visibility during the early hours may lead to delays or schedule changes. In its statement, IndiGo said its operations teams will closely monitor weather conditions throughout the night to minimise inconvenience to travellers. The airline also thanked passengers for their patience in light of seasonal disruptions, according to news agency ANI. “Early-morning fog is expected to affect visibility across Delhi and northern India. Visibility may suddenly drop, impacting flight operations. Safety remains our top priority,” the advisory said. Passengers were advised to check the latest flight status before heading to the airport through the provided link. Those whose flights are affected can rebook or request a refund via IndiGo’s official website. Dense fog is a common winter phenomenon in northern India, often disrupting air, rail, and road transport. On Saturday, low visibility forced the cancellation of 66 arrivals and departures at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi. Delhi Airport also issued a passenger advisory, confirming that low-visibility procedures were in place but all flight operations were functioning normally. Passengers were advised to contact their respective airlines for updates. Meanwhile, Srinagar Airport reported four flight cancellations, including three connecting to and from Amritsar and Delhi, due to adverse weather in those cities
