Dense fog and soaring pollution have crippled life in Delhi-NCR, slashing visibility to near zero since late Sunday night. The India Meteorological Department issued an orange alert, warning residents to stay cautious as air quality plunged into “severe” territory with an AQI hovering above 400—well beyond the “very poor” threshold of 390.
Chilly conditions compounded by hazardous smog have hammered flight operations at Indira Gandhi International Airport. Authorities released an advisory highlighting likely delays and cancellations due to poor visibility. Passengers received clear instructions: verify your flight status before traveling to the airport.
IndiGo Airlines echoed the call, specifically advising its travelers to double-check schedules amid the chaos. The airline emphasized proactive planning to avoid unnecessary trips during this weather crisis.
Travelers should monitor updates via airline apps or websites as disruptions persist across NCR airports.
