IndiGo Flight Status Today, December 15: Full List of Cancelled Flights From Major Airports Due to Delhi Fog

New Delhi, December 15: IndiGo, India's largest airline by market share, faced significant operational disruptions on Monday, December 15, leading to the cancellation of more than 90 flights from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport alone. The widespread cancellations were primarily attributed to dense fog conditions and adverse weather prevailing in the national capital, severely impacting visibility and flight schedules. Beyond Delhi, the airline also reported cancellations from airports in Goa and Coimbatore. Passengers across multiple routes experienced delays and cancellations, prompting advisories from the airline and airport authorities.

The early morning hours in Delhi brought thick blankets of fog, dramatically reducing visibility below the minimum requirements for standard flight operations. Delhi Airport, a major hub for domestic and international travel, grappled with the challenging weather, leading Air Traffic Control (ATC) to implement low visibility procedures. While the airport is equipped with advanced CAT III-B Instrument Landing System (ILS) capabilities, which allow aircraft to land in extremely low visibility conditions, not all aircraft or pilots are certified for such operations, and even with CAT III-B, there are still minimum visibility requirements.

More than 40 IndiGo flights originating from or destined for Delhi were grounded or cancelled throughout the day. This immediate impact left thousands of passengers stranded, many of whom had arrived at the airport hours in advance, only to be met with news of their disrupted travel plans. The cascading effect of these cancellations meant that subsequent flights were also delayed, creating a backlog that extended well into the afternoon and evening. Passengers reported long queues at airline counters as they sought information, rebooking options, or refunds.

Navigating Winter Travel in India

The winter months, particularly December and January, are notorious for fog-related disruptions at airports across Northern India. Delhi, being a major hub, is frequently affected. Airport authorities and airlines typically prepare for these conditions by implementing special procedures and deploying resources to manage delays and diversions. However, the extent and density of fog can often overwhelm even the best-laid plans.

For travelers, the ongoing situation serves as a critical reminder to exercise caution and proactivity during winter travel. Checking flight status well in advance, signing up for airline notifications, and considering travel insurance that covers delays and cancellations are advisable steps. Passengers are also encouraged to maintain flexibility in their travel plans, if possible, to account for potential disruptions.
