Following a fatal Boeing 787-8 crash, Air India is reducing international long-haul flights by 15% from June 20 to mid-July. Three routes are suspended, and frequencies are cut on 16 others, mainly affecting North America and Europe.
In the wake of a tragic Boeing 787-8 crash that claimed 275 lives, including 34 on the ground, Air India has announced a significant reduction in its international wide-body operations. The airline will cut about 15 per cent of its long-haul services from 20 June through mid-July, citing intensified safety inspections and external operational constraints.
3 International Routes Temporarily Halted
In a press statement issued on Thursday, Air India revealed that flights on three international routes will remain suspended until 15 July 2025. These include the Delhi–Nairobi (AI961/962), Amritsar–London Gatwick (AI169/170), and Goa (Mopa)–London Gatwick (AI145/146) services. The Delhi–Nairobi suspension is scheduled to be lifted earlier, on 30 June.
