Low-cost carrier IndiGo on Tuesday issued a travel advisory for passengers due to heavy rainfall in the national capital.
 
"There’s a heavy downpour over Delhi at the moment, causing some temporary disruption to flight schedules. If you’re travelling today, please be aware of potential delays and allow additional time for your journey, especially with traffic moving slower than usual," the airline said.
 
It further urged the passengers to check their flight status on the IndiGo app or website before departing for the airport.
 
Delhi experienced heavy rainfall on Tuesday, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue a yellow and orange alert for several areas.
 
 
The IMD warned that moderate showers, accompanied by light thunderstorms and lightning at speeds of 30-40 km/h, are expected across the city and the National Capital Region (NCR).
 
The rainfall forced at least 15 flights to divert from Delhi airport, PTI reported, citing an official. Of these, eight were redirected to Jaipur, five to Lucknow, and two to Chandigarh.
 
Earlier today, Air India also said that rain may impact flight operations to and from Delhi, and urged its passengers to check flight status before leaving for airport.
