On the first day of fog at Bhubaneswar airport, visibility was reduced to around 100 meters and Runway Visual Range (RVR) was up to 150 meters, leading to the diversion of two flights. An IndiGo flight 6E 5319, traveling from Mumbai to Guwahati, was one of the affected flights, which had to be diverted to Dhaka, Bangladesh, due to dense fog in Guwahati, Assam. The passengers ended up in Bangladesh without their passports and were kept inside the plane. The airline is arranging an alternate set of crew to operate the flight from Dhaka to Guwahati, and passengers were kept informed of the situation. The diversion caused a delay in the travel plans of the passengers.
