The airline said adverse weather conditions could lead to air traffic congestion, which may impact operations. “While we want your journey to be as hassle-free as possible, Mother Nature has her own plans. With heavy rains expected again in Mumbai, there’s a chance this could lead to air traffic congestion and impact flight operations,” the advisory read.
