Flight Delays Hit Nagpur Airport as Dense Winter Fog Reduces Visibility

Dense fog and winter cold in Nagpur and surrounding regions have caused flight delays at Nagpur Airport, disrupting travel plans and prompting advisories for passengers.

Nagpur|December 25 2025: Flight operations at Nagpur Airport have been disrupted recently as dense winter fog and cold conditions lower visibility in the mornings, causing delays for several arrivals and departures and unsettling travellers during the peak holiday season. Winter weather has already brought chillier temperatures across Vidarbha, with Nagpur experiencing some of the coldest mornings of the season and frequent mist and fog formation, conditions that often extend into the early hours and affect airport operations.

Fog and mist reduce visibility drastically near runways, complicating take-offs and landings and forcing air traffic controllers to adopt stricter safety procedures. In such scenarios, flights may be delayed, held in holding patterns, or in rare cases diverted to alternate airports until visibility improves. Across India, similar weather patterns have led airlines to issue travel advisories and adjust schedules as fog blankets multiple regions, slowing aircraft movements to maintain safety.

At Nagpur Airport, travellers have reported longer wait times at boarding gates and occasional hold-ups in departures due to cautious flight sequencing during dense fog periods when visibility dips below optimal levels. Airlines like IndiGo and others operating in and out of the airport encourage passengers to check their flight status in real time, arrive early, and prepare for possible schedule changes when flying in early morning hours known for heavy fog coverage.

Meteorological factors such as calm winds and moisture near the surface help form ground-level fog, especially in the cooler pre-dawn span. These conditions can linger into late morning before the sun disperses the fog layer. Airports across the country, including major hubs, have already reported widespread flight delays where similar weather systems are in play, prompting airlines to brace for operational slowdown and passengers to plan buffer time into their journeys.

For travellers using Nagpur Airport, the advice remains the same: stay updated on take-off and landing times, allow extra time for check-in and security procedures, and monitor weather forecasts that could influence airport schedules. Airport authorities and airlines typically provide real-time alerts and passenger support during these periods to manage disruptions and ensure safety is not compromised.
