Heavy rainfall in New Delhi on April 29 disrupted flight operations, leading to delays and schedule changes at the city’s main airport. Airlines including IndiGo and SpiceJet issued advisories asking passengers to stay updated on flight timings and plan additional travel time.

Airlines Issue Passenger Advisories
IndiGo said weather conditions in Delhi have affected flight schedules and that teams are monitoring the situation closely. The airline advised passengers to track updates through its official website or mobile application before heading to the airport.
SpiceJet also confirmed disruptions and stated that its customer support helplines are operational round the clock to assist travellers facing delays or changes.
Impact on Flight Operations
Weather-related disruptions typically affect both arrivals and departures, particularly during heavy rain and reduced visibility. Delays can also have a cascading effect on connecting flights and airport congestion.
Airlines indicated that passengers should account for slower road traffic while travelling to the airport due to waterlogging or traffic buildup in parts of the city.
Context / Background
Delhi’s main aviation hub, Indira Gandhi International Airport, is among the busiest in the country. Weather-related disruptions during monsoon or sudden storms are not uncommon and can affect multiple flights within a short period.
Similar advisories were also issued for other cities, including Aizawl, Leh and Agartala, where weather conditions have impacted operations.
Public Impact
The disruptions may affect:
- Passengers with tight travel schedules or connecting flights
- Business and leisure travellers relying on timely departures
- Airport traffic and on-ground logistics
Airlines have urged passengers to remain informed through official channels and allow buffer time to avoid inconvenience.
Flight operations in Delhi are expected to return to normal once weather conditions improve. In the meantime, airlines continue to monitor the situation and assist passengers, with a focus on maintaining safety and minimising disruption.
