New Delhi: Following the roof collapse at Terminal 1 of Delhi Airport, IndiGo has cancelled all flights departing from the affected terminal until 12:00 AM on June 29. “6ETravelAdvisory: Delhi Airport Terminal 1 update - Due to the unforeseen situation at T1 this morning, all flights from #DelhiAirport T1 have been cancelled until 0000 hrs, June 29. Further, flights due to arrive at T1, will now arrive either at T2 or T3 in Delhi”, IndiGo wrote on X (formerly Twitter). At Terminal 1, a tragic incident took place on Friday morning as heavy rain caused a canopy at the departure area to collapse around 5 am. Several people were trapped, and one person was killed, with his identity still to be confirmed.
Earlier, SpiceJet had issued a similar advisory for flyers. “Due to bad weather (heavy rains), SpiceJet flights have been cancelled as Terminal 1 of Delhi Airport will remain partially closed for operations until further notice.

The airline also said the unplanned situation has led to operations across the network being impacted.
