Fog Impact in Shamshabad… Flight Services Disrupted

Persistent dense fog across North India, particularly in Delhi where visibility dropped to as low as 50 meters, has severely disrupted flight operations, leading to widespread cancellations and delays. Airlines like IndiGo and Air India have cancelled hundreds of flights, with IndiGo alone scrapping around 80 services on recent days, affecting routes to and from cities including Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, and Amritsar. The ripple effect has impacted Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) in Shamshabad, Hyderabad, with flights connecting to northern destinations experiencing cancellations and significant delays.

Airlines have issued advisories warning that fog conditions are likely to continue on December 30, 2025, potentially causing further disruptions. Passengers are urged to check flight status regularly via airline websites or apps and consider options for rescheduling or refunds. With an orange/red alert in place for Delhi and surrounding areas, low visibility procedures are active at airports, emphasizing the need for travelers to plan ahead amid ongoing winter fog challenges.
