Overview
- Flight operations were disrupted from about 5:30 am after overnight drizzle and low clouds reduced visibility around Kempegowda International Airport.
- By 10 am, airport readings showed visibility near 1,500 metres with a temperature of 20°C, 73% humidity and winds around 14 knots.
- The India Meteorological Department issued no severe weather warning, and such morning fog is a routine winter challenge for Bengaluru flights.
- Two flights were diverted due to poor visibility, including services rerouted to Chennai and Kochi as operators adjusted to conditions.
- Today’s delays follow earlier-week disruptions from volcanic ash drifting into Indian airspace and coincide with temporary airspace limits near Thiruvananthapuram from November 27 to December 3 for a Navy event.
