Strong Winds and Heavy Rains Disrupt Flight Operations in Delhi-NCR

Strong winds and heavy rains have caused major disruptions in flight operations across Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR). The weather conditions forced several flights to delay or cancel, leaving many passengers stranded at the airport.

The bad weather started early in the morning and lasted for hours. The heavy rain and strong winds made it difficult for planes to take off and land safely. Airports in Delhi, including Indira Gandhi International Airport, reported long delays and canceled flights.

Officials at the airport advised passengers to check the status of their flights before heading to the airport. They warned that the weather conditions could continue to cause delays throughout the day. Airlines also updated their websites and social media accounts to inform travelers about changes in flight schedules.

The rain also caused visibility problems for pilots. The strong winds made it difficult for ground crews to move aircraft on the runways. In some cases, airports had to temporarily close certain runways to ensure safety.

The bad weather affected not only domestic flights but also international ones. Travelers who were trying to leave or enter Delhi faced long waits and confusion. Many people had to make changes to their travel plans.

Local authorities have been working to clear waterlogged areas around the city. They are also monitoring the weather to ensure public safety. They have warned residents of the NCR to stay alert and avoid going out during the heaviest rains.

The impact of the weather was not limited to airports. Roads around Delhi became flooded in some areas, making it difficult for people to travel. Traffic jams worsened, adding to the problems caused by the storms.

Airports are expecting flight operations to return to normal once the weather clears up. However, travelers are still advised to keep checking flight updates to avoid further disruptions.
