Delhi rains: Air India, IndiGo issue travel advisory for passengers, warn of flight disruptions — check details

Heavy rainfall in several parts of Delhi on Monday may disrupt flight schedules at the national capital’s Indira Gandhi International Airport.

The adverse weather conditions have caused waterlogging in key areas and disrupted traffic, prompting airlines to issue a travel advisory.

Major Indian airlines, including Air India and IndiGo, issued travel advisories for their passengers and said that the flights may be affected due to the bad weather.

“Heavy rainfall is affecting large parts of Delhi,” the airline said on X (formerly Twitter).

The bad weather led to “some roads towards the airport experiencing water build-up and traffic delays,” IndiGo said in a statement.

The airline also advised passengers to leave for the airport earlier than usual from their scheduled take-off time and to check the flight status on IndiGo’s official website or app.

“Be careful on wet and slippery roads. Our teams are actively monitoring the situation to keep operations going smoothly,” IndiGo warned the passengers.

“Your comfort and safety remain our top priority. Thank you for your understanding.”

The airline warned its passengers that “rain and thunderstorms may impact flight operations to and from Delhi today”.

It also advised passengers to check their flight status well in advance on the company’s official website.

“Please check your flight status before heading to the airport and allow extra time for your journey,” the airline said in a statement.

Parts of Delhi-NCR witnessed heavy rain on Sunday evening, bringing relief from the humid weather. The weather department issued a red alert for more showers.
