Early Morning Fog Creates Chaos at Bengaluru Airport
Early morning travelers at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) in Bengaluru faced significant disruptions on November 27, 2025, as dense fog and poor visibility conditions forced numerous flight delays during the early operating hours. The adverse weather conditions particularly impacted morning departure and arrival schedules, creating cascading effects throughout the airport's operations.
Flight Operations Gradually Return to Normal
While airport authorities worked diligently to manage the situation, flight operations have since returned to normal functioning. However, passengers were advised to expect minor residual delays throughout the day as the airport worked to clear the backlog created by the early morning disruptions. The temporary suspension of normal operations during peak morning hours created a domino effect that required several hours to fully resolve.
Passenger Advisory and Airport Response
Airport officials confirmed that the primary cause of the disruptions was significantly reduced visibility that fell below the minimum safety requirements for takeoff and landing. The foggy conditions, typical for Bengaluru during this season, were particularly intense on this specific morning. Travelers were encouraged to check their flight status with respective airlines before heading to the airport and to account for potential delays in their travel planning.
The incident highlights the ongoing challenges that weather conditions pose to air travel efficiency, particularly during the winter months when fog frequently affects operations at major Indian airports including Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport.
