Fog Disrupts Morning Flights, IndiGo Issues Travel Advisory for Passengers

New Delhi: With the onset of winter, fog has started making its presence felt in North and East India. In view of this, Indigo Airlines issued a travel advisory for passengers on Tuesday night. The airline has clearly said that due to fog on Wednesday morning, many flights may be affected, and passengers may face some inconvenience.

Why does the situation worsen in the morning?

According to Indigo, the fog is denser in the early morning and early morning hours. At such times, visibility of the runway and surrounding areas reduces, due to which the movement of aircraft has to be slowed down. Keeping safety in mind, flights are operated at a controlled speed, and this is why delays or changes in schedules do occur.

How are the airlines prepared?

The airline has assured that all its ground and operations staff are on alert mode. Teams at the airport are in constant touch with the air traffic control so that the situation can be handled and passengers do not face much trouble. Indigo says that the weather is being monitored moment by moment.

What should passengers do?

Indigo has appealed to passengers to keep some extra time while leaving for the airport. Especially passengers taking morning flights must check the status of their flight on the website or mobile app before leaving home. This can avoid last-minute rushing and stress.

Effect of slow speed on the road also

The effect of fog is not limited to the sky only. The airline has warned that traffic on the roads may also be slow, and it may take longer than usual to reach the airport. In such a situation, leaving early would be a better option.

Pollution increased problems

Increasing pollution along with dense fog is making the situation more difficult. In many areas, visibility is extremely low in the morning, which is directly impacting the operation of flights.

Appeal for patience and safety

Indigo has appealed to the passengers to maintain cooperation and patience. The airline says that even if the delay increases the problem, there will be no compromise on safety. Efforts will be made to normalize flights rapidly as soon as the weather becomes normal.
