Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport has issued a travel advisory due to dense fog that has blanketed the national capital. According to the airport operator DIAL, low visibility procedures are in place, affecting flight operations. Passengers are advised to contact their airlines for updated flight information. The city's Air Quality Index (AQI) has reached a 'severe' level, with a reading of 404 at 11:20 pm on Sunday. This has led to flight disruptions, with Air India and SpiceJet issuing advisories warning of probable disruptions in flight operations. Residents across Delhi NCR have reported low and almost zero visibility in some areas, with dense fog reported in the region. The airport has assured that proactive steps are being taken to minimize disruptions, but passengers are advised to check their flight status and prepare for delays or cancellations. The situation is reminiscent of a week ago when similar fog conditions led to flight disruptions at the IGI airport. Residents are advised to exercise caution while traveling in the region, with the airport operator urging passengers to check their flight status regularly for updates.
