New Delhi: Air India on Wednesday warned passengers of possible disruptions to flight operations over the coming days due to dense fog, particularly at its main hub in Delhi and at several airports across northern and eastern India. The airline said poor visibility conditions could result in delays or cancellations, triggering a ripple effect across its network.

Issuing an advisory on X, Air India urged travellers—especially during the holiday season—to check their flight status before proceeding to the airport. Passengers have been advised to track updates on the airline’s official website to better plan their journeys.

The airline said it has taken several proactive measures to mitigate fog-related disruptions, including operational planning and enhanced coordination on the ground.

However, it acknowledged that sudden cancellations or prolonged delays may still occur if dense fog conditions intensify.

Air India assured passengers that its ground staff will be available round-the-clock at airports to provide assistance and make alternative travel arrangements wherever possible. The airline also highlighted its 'FogCare' initiative, under which passengers booked on flights likely to be affected by fog will receive advance alerts via their registered mobile numbers.

Under the 'FogCare' facility, eligible passengers will have the option to reschedule their flights without any additional charges or seek a full refund without penalty, Air India said.

The airline appealed for patience and cooperation from travellers, reiterating that the safety and well-being of passengers and crew remain its top priority as it manages weather-related operational challenges. (ANI)
