Dense fog disrupts flight operations across Northern India

Dense fog is affecting airport operations in parts of Northern India, causing potential disruptions to flight schedules. Passengers are advised to stay in touch with their airlines for real-time updates, according to Jaisalmer Airport authorities.

While flight operations at Delhi Airport are currently running smoothly, passengers are encouraged to remain connected with their respective airlines for the latest updates.

On Sunday, IndiGo issued a travel advisory warning passengers about possible flight disruptions due to dense fog and low visibility at Bangalore and Amritsar. The airline said it is closely monitoring weather conditions and providing full support to ensure safe travel.

In its advisory, IndiGo stated: “Low visibility and fog over Bangalore and Amritsar have impacted flight schedules. We’re keeping a close watch on the weather and doing our best to get you where you need to be, safely and smoothly.” Passengers were urged to check flight status via the airline’s official channels.

Meanwhile, West Bengal’s Bagdogra Airport reported that flights to and from the city could be affected due to dense fog. Authorities said conditions are expected to improve in the next few hours and advised travellers to verify their flight status before heading to the airport.

Earlier on Sunday, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) issued an advisory noting that fog in parts of Northern India is reducing visibility and may lead to delays or changes in flight operations at select airports.

On the same day, two scheduled commercial flights were cancelled at Maharishi Valmiki International Airport in Ayodhya. The cancelled services included Air India Express flight IX1284/IX1274 (Delhi–Ayodhya–Delhi sector) and SpiceJet flight SG615/SG614 (Mumbai–Ayodhya–Ahmedabad route).

The cancellations come amid persistent dense fog in the region, which has significantly reduced visibility and triggered low-visibility operational procedures at affected airports. Similar advisories have been issued over the past few days as fog continues to impact Northern India.
