Delhi Airport, IndiGo issue travel advisory amid low visibility in national capital

Delhi Airport on Wednesday issued an advisory for passengers as foggy conditions are expected to impact flight operations. In a statement, the airport cautioned that flights not equipped with CAT III Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) might face disruptions.

"Flights that are not CAT III compliant may get affected, and passengers are requested to contact the airline for updated flight information," the advisory stated.

CAT III ILS is a sophisticated navigation system designed to facilitate safe aircraft landings during low visibility conditions, such as dense fog—a common occurrence during winters in northern India.


Delhi Airport has assured passengers that measures are being taken to minimise disruptions, urging cooperation to ensure smooth travel during challenging weather conditions.

Meanwhile, IndiGo airline has also issued an advisory for its passengers. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), it wrote, "A blanket of fog wraps Delhi's cold winter morning and may impact flight schedules. If you or your loved ones are travelling, we recommend checking the flight status before heading to the airport."

Details of impact on flights are awaited.
