Dense Fog Hits North India: IndiGo Warns of Flight Delays at Amritsar and Chandigarh Airports
On Saturday, dense winter fog enveloped large parts of north and east India, significantly reducing visibility and disrupting flight operations. This prompted IndiGo to issue travel advisories for passengers. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a dense fog advisory covering areas including Agartala, Siliguri, Ghaziabad, and parts of Punjab and Haryana, urging commuters and travellers to exercise caution amid challenging weather conditions.
In response to deteriorating visibility, IndiGo said airports in Amritsar, Chandigarh and Ranchi were affected by fluctuating fog, leading to slower-than-usual flight movements and possible schedule changes. The airline added that it was monitoring the situation and prioritising safety and compliance with visibility requirements.
In an official post on X, IndiGo highlighted that cold winter air and fog had wrapped these airports, potentially triggering delays in arrivals and departures, and called on passengers to remain patient as operations stabilise. It also flagged low visibility concerns at Agartala, Bagdogra and Hindon (Ghaziabad) airports and warned that these conditions could further affect flight schedules and urged travellers to check up-to-date flight status before departure.
The IMD advisory underscored the continuing impact of dense fog across northern India, with several regions experiencing significant drops in visibility on Saturday morning.
