Several Air India flights cancelled due to maintenance, bad weather, and airspace restrictions
Air India has cancelled several international and domestic flights on Friday due to increased aircraft checks, bad weather, and airspace restrictions. Affected flights include services between Dubai, Chennai, Melbourne, Pune, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, and Mumbai. The airline has offered full refunds or free rescheduling and is helping passengers with alternate travel plans. Earlier on Thursday, Air India said it will reduce flights on various international routes per week and temporarily suspend operations on three routes from June 21 to July 15, 2025. The reductions arise from the decision to voluntarily undertake enhanced pre-flight safety checks.
