Delhi airport authorities have issued a passenger advisory urging travelers to stay updated through airline notifications and to follow all safety and baggage guidelines closely due to “evolving airspace dynamics” and “enhanced security protocols.”

"Delhi Airport operations continue as normal. However, due to changing airspace dynamics and enhanced security protocols, some flight schedules and processing times at security checkpoints may be affected," the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) said in a post on X.
