Major airlines including Air India, IndiGo and SpiceJet have issued travel advisories as dense fog and poor visibility continue to disrupt flight operations across parts of northern and eastern India.  Airlines have warned passengers about possible delays and cancellations at key airports, including Delhi, Chandigarh and Varanasi and have advised travellers to check their flight status before heading to the airport as weather conditions remain challenging.

Air India issued a travel advisory late Wednesday night through its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, warning passengers about possible flight disruptions in the coming days due to dense fog in parts of northern and eastern India. The airline said airports in Delhi and nearby regions could see low visibility, which may affect flight schedules.

“To help plan your travel better, especially during the holiday season, may we request you to check your flight status before heading to the airport,” it said.
