Air India issues fog advisory
Air India has sent out a notice because of very thick fog and cold weather in Delhi and some other places.
This might cause flights to be late, changed, or even canceled.
The airline is keeping a close eye on the situation and has special plans to help passengers.
If your flight is affected, you can change it or get your money back without any extra charges.
They want to make sure everyone knows what's happening and can travel safely.
The fog is expected to be very thick in the morning of January 7, so passengers should check their flight status before going to the airport.
Meanwhile, the air quality in Delhi has worsened, with the AQI reaching 300, which is considered 'poor'.
Some areas like Anand Vihar have even worse air quality, falling into the 'very poor' category.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has protested against the government's handling of the pollution issue, claiming that the situation is severe and needs immediate attention.
Air India issued a travel advisory due to dense fog and cold wave conditions.
Passengers are advised to check the latest flight status before heading to the airport.
The weather conditions may cause delays, diversions, and cancellations across the network.
