Dense fog and low visibility at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) disrupted flight operations on Saturday (December 21, 2024) morning, leading to the diversion of six incoming flights to alternate destinations. The affected flights included both domestic and international services.
According to RGIA authorities, two international flights and four domestic flights were redirected to airports in Chennai, Bangalore, and Vijayawada. Among the diverted international flights, IndiGo’s flight 6E 086 from Dammam and flight 6E 094 from Riyadh were rerouted to Chennai and Bangalore, respectively.
On the domestic front, IndiGo’s flight 6E 5012 from Mumbai and Air India’s flight AI 2829 from Delhi were both diverted to Bangalore. Another Air India flight, AI 2625 from Mumbai, was diverted to Vijayawada, while Akasa Air’s flight QP 1438 from Bangalore returned to its departure airport due to the unfavorable conditions at Hyderabad.
IndiGo on Saturday (December 21, 2024) morning took to X, warning passengers of potential delays and disruptions. “Low visibility at Hyderabad and Bangalore may affect flight operations,” the airline stated.
