IndiGo warns of flight delays amid rain, thunderstorm alert in Delhi

Flight operations at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport were hit by adverse weather conditions on Wednesday, prompting airline major IndiGo to issue a travel advisory for passengers amid delays and extended waiting times.

In a post shared on X, the airline said flight services to and from the national capital were being impacted due to inclement weather conditions. “We understand that extended wait times, both on the ground and onboard, may cause inconvenience, and we sincerely appreciate your patience,” IndiGo said in the advisory.

The airline also urged passengers to keep checking the latest flight status before heading to the airport. “Our crew and ground teams are there to support you and ensure your wait is as comfortable as possible,” the airline added, while assuring travellers that efforts were underway to minimise disruptions.

The weather disturbance comes as the India Meteorological Department’s Regional Weather Forecasting Centre (RWFC) in New Delhi issued a yellow alert for Delhi and adjoining areas for May 13 and May 14.

According to the forecast, Delhi-NCR may witness thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds reaching speeds of 40-50 kmph at isolated places during the period. The IMD also predicted a spell of very light to light rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning for the national capital late on May 13 and into the early hours of May 14.
