    NEW DELHI: Private airline IndiGo on Monday said that continuous rainfall in Mumbai has affected air traffic, leading to minor delays in flight operations.“Our teams are working closely with air traffic control and will get you moving as soon as conditions allow,” the airline posted on X.IndiGo advised passengers to check their flight status on its website or app before heading to the airport. It also urged travellers to allow extra travel time as roads in the city are likely to be slow-moving due to the rain.Meanwhile, adverse weather conditions disrupted flight operations in the Northeast on Sunday. An IndiGo flight from Dibrugarh to Guwahati carrying Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma was diverted to Agartala due to heavy rain and thunderstorms. The aircraft later departed from Agartala’s Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport once conditions improved. KC Meena, Director of Agartala Airport, told ANI, “After the weather became permissible, the common flight departed from Agartala’s Maharaja Bir Bikram (MBB) Airport.” Earlier, IndiGo had issued a travel advisory warning of “persistent rainfall and thunderstorms currently affecting Guwahati, impacting flights.” A statement from the Chief Minister’s Office confirmed that Sarma’s flight was diverted due to adverse weather. The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) in Guwahati also issued a seven-day forecast, predicting cloudy skies, rain and thunderstorms on August 24 between 2:30 p.m. and 8:30 pm. The report read, “Generally cloudy sky. Rain/thunder is very likely to occur.”
