What Airlines said
IndiGo said its operations to certain destinations in North India will be affected by the fog. “Pragyaraj, Ayodhya and Pantnagar continue to remain wrapped in chilly winter air and lingering fog this morning. The fluctuating visibility has led to changes in flight schedules, and operations may be slower than usual as conditions evolve. Our teams on-ground are prioritizing safety and compliance with visibility requirements. Our airport teams are also available to assist should you need support while at the terminal. Once the weather settles, operations will gradually stabilize, and flights will depart as planned,” IndiGo posted on X.
