Delhi rains: Air India, IndiGo issue travel advisory for passengers, warn of flight disruptions — check details
The adverse weather conditions have caused waterlogging in key areas and disrupted traffic, prompting airlines to issue a travel advisory.
Major Indian airlines, including Air India and IndiGo, issued travel advisories for their passengers and said that the flights may be affected due to the bad weather.
The low-cost carrier IndiGo said on Monday that the persistent bad weather in Delhi is affecting flight operations.
'Heavy rainfall is affecting large parts of Delhi,' the airline said on X (formerly Twitter).
The bad weather led to 'some roads towards the airport experiencing water build-up and traffic delays,' IndiGo said in a statement.
The airline also advised passengers to leave for the airport earlier than usual from their scheduled take-off time and to check the flight status on IndiGo's official website or app.
'Be careful on wet and slippery roads. Our teams are actively monitoring the situation to keep operations going smoothly,' IndiGo warned the passengers.
'Your comfort and safety remain our top priority. Thank you for your understanding.'
In another instance, Air India also issued a travel advisory on the social media platform X.
The airline warned its passengers that 'rain and thunderstorms may impact flight operations to and from Delhi today'.
It also advised passengers to check their flight status well in advance on the company's official website.
'Please check your flight status before heading to the airport and allow extra time for your journey,' the airline said in a statement.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Sunday issued a widespread weather alert predicting heavy to extremely heavy rainfall across several regions of the country between July 14 and 19.
Parts of Delhi-NCR witnessed heavy rain on Sunday evening, bringing relief from the humid weather. The weather department issued a red alert for more showers.

Good news for exporters, jewellery hand carriage facilitation centre opened at Terminal 2 of Mumbai international airport
Mumbai: In a move set to significantly enhance India's gem and jewellery export infrastructure, the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), in collaboration with Mumbai Customs, inaugurated the Jewellery Hand Carriage Facilitation Centre at Terminal 2 of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on Wednesday. Recognising the strategic importance of enabling seamless hand carriage, GJEPC secured and equipped a dedicated space at the airport. With the premises now officially notified as a customs area and Bharat Diamond Bourse appointed as custodian, the centre is fully operational, offering 24x7 services for jewellery hand carriage exports and imports. The launch of this dedicated facility follows a push by the GJEPC to address logistical and regulatory challenges associated with high-value, hand-carried gem and jewellery consignments. Mumbai, which accounts for nearly 65%–70% of India's gem and jewellery exports, saw shipments worth $19.65 billion from the western region in 2024–25.

It will streamline high-value exports, reduce paperwork, and significantly cut turnaround time, offering exporters both transparency and operational ease." Gajera explained that earlier when there were orders from clients, jewellery or samples would have to be exported, and the businessman would fly out later once the jewellery reached the destination. This, he said, was not only a "time-consuming affair" but also a "tedious one". GJEPC chairman Kirit Bhansali said, "This milestone is part of the council's wider commitment to ease of doing business. Alongside the e-commerce channel, hand carriage will prove vital for MSMEs and for high-value shipments, especially to FTA partner nations, such as UAE under CEPA, Australia under ECTA, and the UK. It's faster, more cost-effective, and flexible — ideal for urgent global orders." Personal carriage of jewellery for export is currently permitted at nine locations under India's Foreign Trade Policy — Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Kochi, Coimbatore, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Jaipur. Imports are allowed at seven airports. However, fully operational hand carriage centres are presently available only in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Jaipur. GJEPC noted that this facility is part of a broader rollout across nine Indian cities, in alignment with the govt's thrust on improving export competitiveness and simplifying procedures.
