IndiGo Issues Travel Alert Amid Heavy Rains in Delhi

Severe weather conditions in Delhi have significantly disrupted air travel, leading to multiple flight diversions and delays. On Wednesday evening, a deluge of heavy rain over the national capital caused widespread flight disruptions at the Indira Gandhi International Airport. Within a 30-minute window, at least ten flights were diverted as airlines scrambled to adapt to the challenging conditions.

IndiGo, along with other major carriers like SpiceJet and Air India, promptly issued advisories to passengers. The airlines warned that the persistent rain could lead to further delays and disruptions, urging travelers to stay updated on their flight statuses and consider arriving at the airport earlier than usual due to potential traffic congestion and waterlogging in various parts of the city.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported that the rain was the result of clouds converging from all directions over Delhi, with predictions of the downpour lasting for several hours. This has led to substantial waterlogging across the city, causing traffic snarls and raising concerns among commuters.

Passengers planning to fly to or from Delhi have been advised to remain vigilant, as the situation remains fluid with weather conditions expected to impact flights throughout the night. The advisories from airlines highlight the importance of checking real-time updates to avoid any inconvenience caused by the unpredictable weather.
