IndiGo Warns Of Possible Flight Cancellations As Dense Fog Engulfs Delhi

IndiGo Airlines on Monday issued a travel advisory warning passengers of possible flight cancellations due to dense fog in Delhi, which has significantly reduced visibility in and around the capital.

The airline also highlighted that some flights may be proactively cancelled to prioritise passenger safety and minimise extended waiting at airports.

In a post on the social media platform X, IndiGo informed passengers about the prevailing weather conditions and their potential impact on operations. “Travel Advisory…Due to dense fog in Delhi this morning, visibility has reduced drastically, impacting flight operations. As a precaution, some flights may be proactively cancelled throughout the day to prioritise safety and help minimise extended waiting at the airport.”

IndiGo noted that the airline staff are promptly working at the airports to assist the travellers and manage flight operations.

“We understand how inconvenient this can be, especially when travel plans are important. Please be assured that our teams across airports are working continuously to manage operations as smoothly as possible, and keep you informed as the situation evolves…” the airline added in its advisory.

The airline cautioned the passengers against slow road traffic and urged them to allow extra travel time than usual. The passengers can check their flight status on IndiGo’s official website and request a refund in case of a flight cancellation.

“With slower road traffic expected, we recommend allowing extra travel time. We also encourage you to check your latest flight status on our website or app before heading to the airport. In case of a cancellation, you may conveniently rebook or claim a refund online via https://goindigo.in/plan-b.html…Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We’re keeping a close watch on the weather and doing our best to get you where you need to be, safely and smoothly,” IndiGo stated in a post on X.
