The dense fog and resulting flight disruptions at India — Indira Gandhi International Airport and other Northern India airports have a negative impact on the airline industry, particularly for IndiGo and SpiceJet, due to numerous cancellations and delays. This also affects the broader tourism sector and potentially the Indian economy due to reduced travel and business activity.

Airlines Airports Tourism

Dense fog has severely disrupted flight operations at India — Indira Gandhi International Airport and other airports across Northern India since mid-December 2025. This has led to hundreds of flight cancellations and delays, impacting major airlines like IndiGo, India, and SpiceJet. Authorities such as the India — Airports Authority of India, India — Ministry of Education (India), and Malaysia — Malaysian Meteorological Department have issued advisories and implemented low-visibility procedures (CAT III) to manage the situation. The persistent fog, combined with poor air quality in India — Delhi, has caused significant inconvenience to passengers and financial losses for airlines, with IndiGo alone cancelling over 100 flights on multiple occasions. The India — Directorate General of Civil Aviation (India) has declared a 'fog window' from December 10 to February 10, highlighting the recurring nature of this winter challenge.
