New Delhi, Dec 30 : The Airports Authority of India (AAI) on Tuesday issued an advisory warning of possible flight delays at select airports across Northern India due to dense fog and reduced visibility conditions.
In a post on X, AAI said fluctuating visibility levels on Tuesday, December 30, could impact flight operations, including departures and arrivals. Passengers were advised to stay in close contact with their respective airlines through official communication channels for the latest updates.
“Due to prevailing fog conditions today, visibility levels across Northern India have reduced at select airports. This may impact flight operations, including possible delays,” AAI said. Travellers were also urged to plan their journeys accordingly by allowing additional time for airport arrival and check-in procedures.
The statutory body added that passenger facilitation measures have been activated at affected airports, with assistance teams deployed on the ground to help travellers during the disruption. AAI reiterated its commitment to passenger safety, convenience and smooth airport operations during adverse weather conditions.
The advisory follows significant disruptions at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport on Monday, where dense fog led to multiple flight delays and cancellations. Airlines including IndiGo and Air India issued travel advisories as visibility levels dropped sharply.
In its advisory, IndiGo said flight schedules at Delhi and Hindon airports may continue to be affected due to lingering fog and fluctuating visibility. The airline said operational adjustments are being made while prioritising safety and compliance with visibility requirements.
“Operations may be slower than usual as conditions evolve. Passengers are advised to regularly check their flight status and use rebooking or refund options if impacted,” IndiGo said, adding that airport teams remain available to assist travellers.
AAI advised passengers travelling through northern airports to remain alert to weather-related updates as fog conditions typically intensify during winter mornings and nights, potentially affecting flight schedules over the coming days.
