Heavy monsoon rains in India’s financial and national capitals have led to travel disruptions, with major carriers issuing travel advisories to caution passengers. Downpours clogged roads in both cities, and flight operations were affected, creating widespread heavy rainfall flight disruption in India.

Mumbai Flight Delays Due to Heavy Rains

Low visibility and waterlogged roads slowed operations at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, leading to flight delays across multiple carriers. 

 

IndiGo informed passengers that continuous rainfall in Mumbai is causing minor flight delays. Before heading to the airport, travelers can check their flight status on the airline’s website or app.

 

SpiceJet issued a similar notice announcing that bad weather is affecting all departures and arrivals. Passengers are requested to check on their flight status online.

 

Akasa Air recommends allowing extra time to reach the airport due to heavy rainfall in Mumbai and Delhi, which may cause traffic congestion.
