Delhi airport issues travel advisory amid rain-hit flight operations
The Delhi airport issued a passenger advisory on Sunday morning, saying that flight operations will remain partially affected due to heavy rainfall in the early hours of the day.
A post on Delhi International Airport Limited's official X handle read, "Due to adverse weather conditions last night, some flights have been impacted. Passengers are advised to check their flight status regularly and stay in touch with airline staff for updates. Our on-ground teams are diligently working with all stakeholders to ensure a seamless and efficient passenger experience."
Low-cost carrier IndiGo also issued an advisory in the wake of heavy rainfall.
"Last night's adverse weather in Delhi, continues to affect operations due airside congestion. While conditions have improved, delays in departures, arrivals, and ground handling may persist," the airlines said in a post on X.
"We recommend planning your travel with sufficient buffer time, as routes to the airport may be affected by waterlogging. For real-time updates, please check your flight status on our website or mobile app. We sincerely appreciate your patience and continued support as we work diligently to get you safely to your destination," the advisory further read. According to flight tracking website Flightradar24.com, many flights have been delayed and some cancelled at the airport, and the average delay was over 30 minutes for departures.
The heavy rainfall in the early hours of Sunday resulted in the severe waterlogging in several parts of Delhi. Areas affected include Moti Bagh, Minto Road, and near Delhi airport Terminal 1. At Akbar Road, clearance work was carried out after several trees fell.

59 tourists airlifted from north Sikkim as rescue ops resume
Two MI-17V5 helicopters left for Chaten in north Sikkim from Pakyong airport near state capital Gangtok in the early morning after the weather cleared Press Trust of India Gangtok Fifty-nine tourists were brought back to Gangtok from the rain-ravaged north Sikkim on Thursday morning as the rescue operations resumed after the weather cleared, officials said. They were among the 109 tourists stranded in north Sikkim's Lachung for nearly a week. Two MI-17V5 helicopters left for Chaten in north Sikkim from Pakyong airport near state capital Gangtok in the early morning after the weather cleared. While 39 tourists returned on one copter, 20 returned on another, officials said. Among those rescued were two foreigners, they said. Sikkim Nationalised Transport (SNT) has deployed buses to help these rescued tourists reach Siliguri in West Bengal. An additional helicopter has been kept on standby at Pakyong airport for those who want to travel to Bagdogra near Siliguri by air. The two helicopters flew to Chaten with personnel from the NDRF and Power Department, and engineers of Airtel, who would work in the region for restoring essential services, they said. These 109 tourists were brought to Chaten for air evacuation, they added. The tourists were accommodated in hotels and at the Chaten military camp, an officer said. Helicopter sorties from the Pakyong airport were suspended on Wednesday due to bad weather in north Sikkim, delaying evacuations. On Sunday, three Army personnel were killed and six soldiers went missing after landslides hit a military camp at Chaten. Several others were also injured. The search operations for the six missing personnel have been hampered by bad weather conditions, unstable ground, and the challenging high-altitude terrain, an official said. The ongoing relief operations in north Sikkim faced a critical setback after two key bridges over the Taran Chu river, situated between Munshithang and Chaten, were washed away by incessant rains, severing motorable access to Chaten from Lachen. Three days ago, 1,678 tourists were rescued from Lachung and Chungthang, while 33 others, including two US nationals, were successfully airlifted before the sorties were suspended on Wednesday.
