In a major disruption for holiday travelers, Air India has announced the cancellation of 60 flights to the United States planned for November and December. This announcement comes during a peak travel season and notably affects key routes, including five weekly flights from Delhi to Washington, D.C., and seven weekly flights from Delhi and Mumbai to New York City.
The airline cited ongoing aircraft maintenance delays as the reason for these cancellations, which have significantly impacted its operational capacity. Passengers who had planned to fly on these routes now face considerable inconvenience, especially with the busy holiday travel period approaching.
Air India is actively working to rebook affected passengers onto alternate flights, striving to mitigate the impact on its customers. Travelers are encouraged to check their flight status regularly and stay informed through the airline’s updates. These cancellations underscore the ongoing challenges airlines face in managing fleet availability and maintenance amid increasing travel demand.
