Air India Reduces International Flights Amid Safety Checks

Air India is temporarily reducing its international flights by 38 weekly and suspending some routes following the Ahmedabad plane crash. The airline aims to stabilize schedules and minimize passenger inconvenience. Enhanced safety checks and airspace closures necessitate this reduction, with suspensions on specific Europe, North America, and Australian routes.

Air India announced a temporary reduction of 38 international flights per week, from June 21 to July 15, in a bid to restore schedule stability following a fatal plane crash in Ahmedabad.

Effective measures include suspending services on three overseas routes as the airline continues with enhanced pre-flight safety checks amidst additional flight durations due to airspace closures in the Middle East.

Apologies were extended to passengers for inconveniences, with the airline offering alternatives such as re-accommodation, complimentary rescheduling, or full refunds to affected travelers.
