IndiGo Airlines issued a comprehensive travel advisory on Tuesday, alerting passengers to potential impacts from early morning fog during the winter season across Northern India, which could result in slower flight movements and possible delays.
In its official statement, the airline noted: "As winter sets in, early mornings across Northern India can bring fog that may occasionally slow down flight movements. We wanted to share this gentle heads-up in advance, so you can plan with ease and check your flight status before heading to the airport."
The carrier reassured travellers that its ground staff and operations teams are fully equipped and actively monitoring weather developments. IndiGo emphasised its efforts to implement necessary operational changes where feasible to minimise any disruptions and prioritise passenger comfort during potential wait times.
"Please be assured that our teams are well prepared and closely monitoring weather conditions. Wherever possible, we are making thoughtful adjustments on the ground to reduce inconvenience and ensure any waiting time is as comfortable as possible," the advisory continued.
It concluded with: "Thank you for your understanding and for placing your trust in us. We're here to take care of you and to make your journey as smooth as we can."

Separately, the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport issued a fog advisory on Tuesday morning, informing passengers of potential disruptions to flight operations due to reduced visibility in the national capital. In a post on X shared at approximately 6:06 am, Delhi Airport stated, "Flight operations are steadily recovering, but disruptions may persist for certain departures and arrivals."
Passengers were strongly recommended to reach out directly to their airlines for the most accurate and up-to-date information on flight schedules. The airport also confirmed that ground staff and personnel are stationed throughout the terminals to offer assistance and support to travellers as needed.
"We appreciate your cooperation and understanding," the X post added. This advisory was issued amid ongoing dense fog and poor air quality in Delhi, conditions that have significantly reduced visibility in the early morning hours and consequently affected air traffic operations at the airport.
Additionally, the National Capital Delhi continued to face hazardous air conditions on Tuesday, with the city's overall Air Quality Index (AQI) recorded at 378 around 8 am, falling into the 'very poor' category, as per data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
