Flight Operations Hit By Dense Fog; IndiGo, Air India, SpiceJet Issue Travel Advisory
Dense fog and poor visibility continue to disrupt air travel across large parts of northern and eastern India, prompting major airlines to issue fresh advisories for passengers. IndiGo, Air India and SpiceJet have warned that flight schedules may remain unpredictable over the next few days, particularly during early morning hours.
Fog Impacts Flight Operations Across Regions
According to the airlines, reduced visibility due to fog has affected departures, arrivals and connecting flights at several airports. Delays, diversions and cancellations are likely as air traffic flow and runway operations slow down in foggy conditions.
The advisories were issued late Saturday night through official social media platforms, with airlines urging passengers to stay updated on their flight status before travelling to the airport.
IndiGo Flags Low Visibility In Multiple Cities
IndiGo said dense fog is affecting flight movements in Delhi and other parts of north India. The airline added that low visibility has already caused schedule disruptions in cities such as Bengaluru and Amritsar.
In a post on X, IndiGo said its operations teams are closely monitoring weather conditions to limit disruptions wherever possible. Passengers have been advised to factor in extra travel time, as fog can affect runway availability and air traffic management. The airline also assured travellers that ground staff are available to assist with delays, rebookings and other concerns.
Air India Warns Of Ongoing Fog Conditions
Air India cautioned that dense fog is expected to persist across Delhi and several regions in northern and eastern India. The airline said that despite efforts to minimise inconvenience, sudden delays, diversions or cancellations may still occur due to rapidly changing weather conditions.
The national carrier urged passengers to stay in contact for regular updates and said its ground teams are prepared to help with alternative travel arrangements if flights are affected. Air India also shared 24-hour contact numbers for passengers seeking assistance.
SpiceJet Issues Multi-Airport Advisory
SpiceJet released a broader advisory, warning that poor visibility could impact flight operations across multiple airports. According to the airline, both domestic departures and arrivals, as well as connecting flights, may face disruptions.
Airports likely to be affected include Delhi, Bengaluru, Ayodhya, Gorakhpur, Varanasi, Darbhanga, Jammu, Amritsar, Patna and Bagdogra. Passengers were advised to frequently check their flight status and remain alert for schedule changes.
Airlines Urge Passengers To Plan Ahead
With winter fog becoming more frequent, airlines have asked passengers especially those travelling during early morning hours to plan their journeys carefully. Travellers have been advised to reach airports well in advance and stay flexible in case of delays.
While authorities have not specified how long the foggy conditions will continue, airlines said they will keep monitoring the situation closely and issue timely updates. Until visibility improves, intermittent disruptions to flight schedules are expected.
