IndiGo Cancels 67 Flights as Fog Disrupts Travel; Delhi Visibility Rebounds

The airline remains under a trimmed winter schedule with DGCA oversight.

Overview

  • IndiGo scrapped 67 services on December 25, mostly citing forecasted bad weather, with cancellations touching airports such as Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Varanasi, Agartala and Gaya.
  • Delhi’s IGI Airport activated low‑visibility procedures but said operations were running, urging travelers to check real‑time updates through official channels.
  • The IMD reported visibility at IGI improved to about 2,500 metres on Christmas morning and forecast little fog for the following 12 hours.
  • IndiGo says operations have stabilised since December 9 and it is handling 2,100–2,200 flights a day across 138 destinations, while its domestic winter allocation is capped at 1,930 daily flights.
  • DGCA’s fog window runs from December 10 to February 10 with CAT‑IIIB crew and aircraft requirements in place, and the regulator continues to scrutinize IndiGo after its early‑December disruptions.
