The persistent bad weather conditions at Delhi airport, marked by thick layers of fog affecting visibility, have disrupted numerous flights.
To alleviate the inconvenience faced by passengers, Air India has implemented special measures.
Under the Fogcare initiative, passengers traveling to and from Delhi’s IGI Airport can now reschedule or cancel their bookings without incurring additional costs, particularly useful during anticipated delays caused by heavy fog.
Fogcare Initiative Ensures Passenger Convenience
Air India’s proactive approach to weather-related disruptions comes in the form of the Fogcare initiative, launched last winter.
This initiative empowers passengers affected by fog to have greater control over their travel plans, allowing them to reschedule or cancel bookings without incurring any additional expenses.
Nationwide Impact of Dense Fog on Air Travel
The drop in temperatures across the country has led to dense fog affecting air travel in various cities and states, including the national capital, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru.
Social media platforms have seen an outpour of passenger frustration as many flights experienced delays and disruptions.
Delhi Airport’s Advisory and Airline Response
Delhi Airport took to Twitter to inform passengers about the ongoing situation. While landings and takeoffs continue at the airport, flights not compliant with CAT III standards may be impacted.
Passengers are advised to stay updated by contacting the respective airlines for the latest flight information.
The airlines, including Air India, express regret for any inconvenience caused and emphasize their commitment to passenger well-being.
