Dense fog blanketed northern India on Monday, leading to the cancellation and delay of hundreds of flights across the region. Airlines responded by either cancelling flights in advance or postponing departures and arrivals due to poor visibility conditions. The widespread fog disrupted domestic travel plans, affecting travelers and airport operations.
Airport authorities and airlines issued advisories urging passengers to check flight statuses before heading to the airports. While no major accidents or injuries have been reported, officials emphasized safety concerns stemming from low visibility. The weather conditions are expected to improve gradually, but authorities remain cautious as fog persists in several northern areas.
The disruption highlights the ongoing challenges that weather conditions pose to air travel in northern India, especially during winter months when fog is most prevalent. Travelers are advised to stay updated through official channels and plan accordingly. No significant impact on international flights was reported, though some domestic flights experienced significant delays throughout the day.
