The Ministry of Civil Aviation on Friday cautioned passengers that airport operations across parts of Northern India may be impacted due to prevailing fog conditions, a seasonal phenomenon that often disrupts air travel during the winter months.
In an official advisory, the Ministry urged travellers to stay in regular contact with their respective airlines and closely monitor updates shared on official airline and airport platforms. Passengers have also been advised to allow extra time for their journeys, particularly for airport transfers and check-in procedures, as low visibility can lead to flight delays, diversions, or cancellations.
Highlighting passenger welfare measures, the Ministry said that facilitation teams have been deployed at airports to assist travellers during the disruptions. These teams are tasked with providing timely information, guiding passengers through revised schedules, and offering necessary support in coordination with airlines and airport authorities.
Fog-related disruptions are common across major northern airports, including Delhi and surrounding regions, during this time of the year. Aviation authorities and airlines continue to implement low-visibility procedures to ensure safety while minimizing inconvenience to passengers.
The Ministry reiterated that safety remains the top priority and appealed for passengers’ cooperation, patience, and preparedness as weather conditions continue to affect flight operations in the region.
