Several airlines on Tuesday issued advisories due to inclement weather at the Delhi airport. "Because of bad weather (heavy rain) in Delhi (DEL), all departures/arrivals and their consequential flights may be impacted. Passengers are requested to keep a check on their flight status," SpiceJet said in a post on X.
The national capital experienced heavy rain for a brief period in the evening, accompanied by high-speed winds and heavy showers reported from various areas in the city.
Flight operators like IndiGo and Vistara issued advisories due to the adverse weather conditions, resulting in multiple flights being diverted from the Indira Gandhi International Airport in the national capital. Reports indicate that 15 flights were diverted from Delhi - nine flights to Jaipur, two to Amritsar, two to Lucknow, one to Mumbai and one to Chandigarh.
"Flight UK998 from Pune to Delhi (PNQ-DEL) has been diverted to Amritsar (ATQ) due to bad weather at Delhi airport and is expected to arrive in Amritsar (ATQ) at 1930 hours," Tata-owned carrier Vistara posted on X.
IndiGo, on the other hand, advised passengers to check their flight schedules, stating, "Due to unfavourable weather conditions in Delhi, request our customers to check their flight timings before heading to the airport," in a post on X.
