Trains and flights bound for Delhi and other North Indian destinations continue to face delays amid the ongoing fog chaos in the national capital, leaving passengers stranded and frustrated as they look to the aviation ministry for solutions.
December and January remain the period witnessing the highest flight delays due to the recurring fog phenomenon. In December 2023 alone, about 400,000 passengers were affected by flight delays and cancellations, according to a report by Livemint.
According to the Passenger Charter, in case of cancellations, airlines are required to give a written notice to the passengers, stating all the rules for compensation and assistance. However, most of the airlines don’t put this into practice, the report added.
