Flight Delays: The effect of winter has increased significantly across the country and along with it dense fog, severe cold and low visibility have also come. The Meteorological Department has warned that the same conditions are likely to persist for the next few days. Flights are being delayed, canceled and even rescheduled. Let us know where air travel has slowed down.
Delhi was most affected
Most problems are being seen at Indira Gandhi International Airport. On December 21, due to dense fog and low visibility, about 110 flights were canceled and more than 370 flights were delayed. Along with this, the same situation remained on 22 December also. More than 150 flights were late in the morning.
Impact outside the capital also
This problem was not limited to Delhi only. Flights to and from Amritsar, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Srinagar and Chennai were also affected due to bad weather. Let us tell you that the effect of fog is more severe in the northern areas, whereas in the southern cities, there are delays due to delay in aircraft rotation and congestion at major hubs.
Flights stopped in Srinagar due to snowfall
Due to bad weather and snowfall at Srinagar Airport, many flights were canceled directly. Mountainous weather conditions and low visibility sometimes make operations unsafe. This is the reason why airlines have to temporarily suspend services.
Meanwhile, Indigo has also canceled flights on many routes. Airlines also issued a travel advisory urging passengers to check real-time flight status before going to the airport. Along with this, Air India has also started its seasonal fog care initiative. Under this policy, passengers affected by fog related problems can reschedule or cancel their flights without any extra fees.
advice for travelers
Passengers are being advised to check flight status before leaving home, reach the airport on time and also keep in mind road delays due to fog.
