Bengaluru-Delhi Flight: A Delhi-bound flight from Bengaluru surprised many after a passenger shared a photo showing only 10 people on board. The image, posted on X, shows how worsening air pollution in the national capital may be discouraging travellers.

The user, shocked by the sight of a nearly vacant aircraft, wrote, “I don’t remember the last time I saw a Bengaluru to Delhi flight having just 10 people on a weekend.” She further added that the flight was not a late-night one, writing, “Aqi so bad that no one wants to fly to delhi. This is not a red eye flight it lands at 10AM.”

The post quickly gained traction online, sparking discussions about how Delhi’s poor air quality is affecting daily life and even travel plans. Many users commented on the situation, expressing concern over the city’s hazardous pollution levels.

One user advised, “fly back immediately. almost nothing is worth breathing this.” Another commented, “Thats wild, usually flights to delhi are packed like sardines but everyone said nope not dealing with that air.”

Others criticised the authorities for inaction, with a user writing, “Literally most of the central government lives in Delhi. What’s stopping them from building a task force to fix this crisis systematically.” Another one wrote, “don't send the aircraft back: we don't want the dilli smog garnished with yamuna's froth nor guptajis broth.”

Meanwhile, Delhi continues to battle toxic air. On Sunday morning, the Air Quality Early Warning System recorded an AQI of 392, with several areas crossing 400, placing the city among the most polluted in India. Data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) on Saturday showed a 24-hour average AQI of 361, categorised in the ‘red zone’.

Amid the crisis, several citizen groups, including ‘Warrior Moms’ and ‘My Right to Breathe’, have organised a peaceful protest at India Gate, demanding urgent action. The campaign, held under the slogan #HelpUsBreathe, calls for immediate government intervention and the release of a public health advisory.
