Notably, the capital is currently experiencing severe cold coupled with dense fog, leading to delays and cancellations of both domestic and international flights, affecting departure and arrival schedules. . Major airlines such as IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Vistara have warned that ongoing bad weather conditions in Delhi and Kolkata could further impact flight schedules.

Chaos has erupted at the airport as furious passengers are accusing airlines and airports of inadequate communication. On Monday, a passenger aboard an IndiGo flight physically assaulted the aircraft's pilot while he was announcing delays. He was arrested and later released on bail.

Another video showed passengers eating food while sitting on the tarmac at the Mumbai airport, where their flight from Goa to Delhi had been diverted after hours of delay.
