Air India advises travelers flying to Delhi during Republic Day 2025 to check flight status, arrive early, and prepare for delays due to fog and traffic congestion.

Air India Issues Fresh Advisory for Passengers Traveling to Delhi Ahead of Republic Day 2025
Air India has released a crucial travel advisory urging passengers to stay prepared for disruptions surrounding Republic Day celebrations in Delhi. Travelers are encouraged to check their flight status frequently and plan to arrive at the airport well in advance to avoid delays during this busy period.

Peak Travel Alert from January 19 to January 26, 2025
The advisory covers the period from January 19 to January 26, 2025, as the city experiences increased air traffic in the run-up to Republic Day. With heightened security protocols and potential traffic bottlenecks around the airport, Air India recommends allocating extra time for travel to ensure a smooth journey.

Dense Fog and Poor Air Quality Add to Challenges
Delhi’s weather is adding to the complexities. A thick blanket of fog has reduced visibility across the region, disrupting normal flight operations. Delays, diversions, and cancellations are being reported due to the adverse weather conditions. Additionally, air quality has deteriorated significantly, with parts of Delhi recording an Air Quality Index (AQI) above 400.

Impact of Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 on Flight Schedules
Adding to the travel chaos is the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025. Increased flight operations between Prayagraj and Delhi have further strained the aviation network. Passengers are advised to remain vigilant and stay updated on any changes to their travel plans.

With multiple factors affecting air travel, Air India’s advisory underscores the importance of preparation and timely updates to minimize inconvenience during this critical period.
