This issue follows Saturday's disruption when IndiGo issued a travel advisory after a temporary malfunction in the baggage belt system at Mumbai's Terminal 2 caused delays at check-in counters and during baggage collection.

Our teams are on-site, working swiftly with airport partners to expedite the resolution and support customers throughout the process."

IndiGo cancelled nearly 80 flights across its network on Monday due to bad weather conditions, while almost half of these cancellations were from Delhi airport, PTI reported.

According to its website, the flights have also been cancelled to and from a number of key airports, including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Cochin, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Dehradun, Indore, Patna and Bhopal, besides Delhi.

IndiGo, in its travel advisory issued at 11:20 am said, "Foggy conditions remain in place across Delhi and several airports in northern India, with visibility yet to improve fully. As a result, the earlier impact on flight movements is likely to extend into the noon hours, and some delays may continue."

Earlier this month, IndiGo's massive flight disruptions resulted in many passengers losing their baggage, prompting widespread complaints.

IndiGo passengers complained about their baggage being lost. While they managed to reach their destinations, their luggage did not. Uncertainty loomed over when the bags would be reunited with their rightful owners.
