Thick fog and reduced visibility have plunged air travel into disarray across India, with IndiGo leading the response by releasing a comprehensive travel advisory on Tuesday. The airline pinpointed Dehradun, Hyderabad, and Agartala as primary hotspots where operations are severely compromised.
Passengers flying to or from these destinations should brace for delays in departures and arrivals. IndiGo emphasizes vigilance, advising all to track flight statuses religiously on its website or app to avoid nasty surprises at the airport.
Taking to X, IndiGo shared: ‘Challenging low visibility in Dehradun, Hyderabad, and Agartala is disrupting our flight schedules. Flights to/from these cities may face delays while we address the weather issues. Check your status on our site or app continuously. Our ground and support teams are fully geared to help you.’
Further reassurance came with promises of round-the-clock monitoring and hopes for swift weather improvement to restore normalcy. The post wrapped up with thanks for passengers’ patience.
This advisory recalls last week’s Srinagar crisis, triggered by heavy snowfall that stalled flights from IndiGo and Air India alike. Travelers endured long waits, with airlines stressing official updates to cut through misinformation.
In the broader context of India’s foggy winters, such disruptions are par for the course, yet airlines like IndiGo are doubling down on customer-centric strategies. Enhanced tech integrations and staff readiness are key to turning potential ordeals into manageable experiences for millions of flyers.
