Delhi airport resumes normal operations after heavy rains lash national capital

Flight operations at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport have returned to normal after being disrupted earlier in the day due to heavy rain and thunderstorms, according to an official advisory issued Friday.

“Following the advisory issued by the India Meteorological Department this morning, we confirm that the airport is operating normally,” the airport said in a statement. “While some flights have been impacted by the adverse weather, our on-ground teams are working closely with all stakeholders to ensure a seamless and efficient passenger experience.”

Although a few flight delays and diversions continue to affect schedules, the airport confirmed that normal operations have largely resumed. Passengers are advised to remain in contact with their respective airlines for the latest updates.

Earlier in the day, three Delhi-bound flights were diverted—one to Ahmedabad and two to Jaipur—due to inclement weather. Several other flights faced delays, airport sources said.

Heavy rainfall early Friday led to waterlogging and traffic snarls across parts of Delhi. In a previous update, airport authorities acknowledged the impact of the weather and reiterated their efforts to support affected travelers.

“Due to thunderstorms and adverse weather in Delhi, some flights have been affected. Our on-ground teams are actively coordinating with all relevant parties to ensure passenger convenience,” the earlier statement read.

The India Meteorological Department has issued a weather alert for the Delhi-NCR region, advising residents to exercise caution and prioritize safety.
