Flights run delayed amid foggy conditions and poor visibility. In the wake of the same, India’s leading airline and a Star Alliance member, Air India announced on Saturday about its “FogCare” initiative to mitigate the impact of disruptions due to fog on passengers. This initiative, which will initially be launched for flights departing from and arriving at IGI airport, New Delhi, aims to take care of unforeseen circumstances such as delays and cancellations of flights amid thick fog that engulfs northern India during the winter season. Notably, the Delhi Government has launched the Winter Action Plan for homeless people in the national capital in order to protect them from weather adversities.
