Delhi airport warns of delays

Delhi Airport said Tuesday that operations were normal, but some flights could be delayed because of changing wind patterns in Delhi. (newdelhiairport.in) The airport told passengers to check with their airlines for the latest flight information. Its public website also directs travelers to live flight-status tools for departures and arrivals.

IMD said heatwave conditions were likely over isolated to scattered pockets of northwest and central India on April 27 before easing afterward.

The next step is simple: check your airline status before heading to Indira Gandhi International Airport. (newdelhiairport.in) (goindigo.in)
