The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a three‑hour weather warning for Mumbai, prompting the cancellation or delay of flights operated by IndiGo, Akasa and other carriers.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) released a three‑hour weather warning for the Mumbai region at 10:00 GMT, citing heavy rainfall and reduced visibility that could affect aviation safety.
In response, IndiGo and Akasa Airlines announced the suspension or postponement of several flights scheduled to depart from or arrive at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. Other carriers also adjusted their schedules to avoid the forecasted weather.
Airport authorities at Mumbai International Airport urged passengers to check flight status updates and advised those with connecting flights to seek alternative arrangements. The warning is expected to last until 13:00 GMT, after which the IMD will reassess conditions.
Passengers affected by the cancellations have been offered refunds or rebooking options, while airlines have increased customer support channels to handle the surge in inquiries.
