The airline assured passengers that they are closely monitoring the situation and will provide timely updates. IndiGo also advised passengers to stay informed about their flight status and explore flexible rebooking or refund options if necessary.

Similarly, Air India acknowledged that adverse weather conditions have led to congestion at Bengaluru airport, impacting flight schedules. The airline urged passengers to check their flight status before heading to the airport.

In addition to flight disruptions, Bengaluru's heavy rainfall has caused flooding in several areas, leading to traffic jams, particularly around the airport.
