Bengaluru: IndiGo issues travel advisory as fog grips IT hub

IndiGo on Thursday issued a travel advisory warning passengers of possible flight disruptions due to dense fog and low visibility conditions over Bengaluru, as weather-related challenges continue to affect air operations.

Please be assured that our teams are here to assist you at every step and provide full support,” the advisory said. “Here's hoping clearer skies help us serve you better soon, and thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging time.”


The advisory comes amid fog-related disruptions across several parts of the country, particularly northern India, which have affected flight schedules in recent days.

Meanwhile, IndiGo said it continues to maintain operational stability ahead of the holiday travel rush. On Wednesday, the airline said it has been carrying over one million passengers every three days. “We have been consistently operating 2,100-2,200 flights and carrying over 1 million customers every 3 days. We have been flying to and from all 138 operational destinations across our network while maintaining the IndiGo standards of on-time performance,” the airline said in a statement.

The airline added that it is fully prepared for the expected surge in travel demand during the festive and holiday season. “With this, we are pleased to confirm that we are fully prepared to cater to the surge in demand during this holiday season,” the statement said.

Looking ahead, IndiGo said it is preparing to induct its first Airbus A321XLR aircraft. “We are all set to welcome our and India's first Airbus A321XLR, which will redefine medium-to-long haul flying for travellers in India and the subcontinent,” an IndiGo spokesperson said. The airline plans to deploy the aircraft on routes connecting Delhi and Mumbai with Athens starting January 23, 2026.

The spokesperson added, “We are also evaluating additional domestic and international destinations in line with our fleet expansion plans and will share further updates in due course.”

Addressing recent fog-related disruptions, IndiGo said, “Like all airlines, we were impacted; however, operations were effectively managed under the circumstances to maintain operational stability.”
