Air India's International Flights To Be Fully Operational From October 1
Last Updated: Air India will resume international operations from October 1, 2025, after halting flights due to the Ahmedabad tragedy. Air India will resume international operations from October 1. The Tata-owned airline halted international flights in the wake of the Ahmedabad plane tragedy on June 12. Air India CEO Campbell Wilson said that the airline has already begun a phased restoration of international operations from August 1. 'We have begun a phased restoration of international operations from August 1, 2025, with full resumption targeted for October 1, 2025. This measured approach ensures we complete every verification thoroughly and resume service with complete confidence. I acknowledge that there have been some operational challenges over the last few weeks that may have impacted your travel experience. Rest assured, we take this seriously and we are committed to strengthening our internal processes to minimise the inconvenience that such circumstances cause to you," he said. The Tata Group airline had decided to observe a 'Safety Pause" in the aftermath of the Boeing 787-8 plane crash. The airline had said that the pause enabled it to perform additional precautionary checks on its Boeing 787 aircraft as well as accommodate longer flying times arising from airspace closures over Pakistan and the Middle East. Air India has cancelled and delayed several flights due to technical issues with aircraft in the past few weeks. The airline cancelled its flight from Delhi to Milan due to a technical snag detected in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft prior to departure. June 12 Plane Crash On June 12, the London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner began to lose thrust within seconds of taking off from the Ahmedabad Airport and ploughed into a medical college hostel, killing all but one of the 242 onboard and another 19 on the ground in the deadliest aviation accident in a decade. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Hindon Airport begins direct flights to 9 Cities, boosting air travel for Delhi-NCR residents
Delhi NCR residents now have more convenient air travel options, thanks to the expansion of direct flights from Ghaziabad's Hindon Airport. IndiGo has launched operations to nine key cities—Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Goa, Indore, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Patna, and Varanasi—starting from July 2025. With nearly 70 weekly departures, Hindon has become a vital secondary air hub for the National Capital Region, particularly benefiting travellers from Ghaziabad, Noida, eastern and central Delhi, and western Uttar Pradesh. The initiative aims to ease passenger load at Delhi's IGI Airport while providing faster, closer access to major destinations. Flights to cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, Patna, Varanasi, and Kolkata operate daily, while routes to Goa run six times a week. The terminal has been upgraded to handle up to 500 passengers per hour, with improved ground staff and baggage systems to accommodate growing demand. This expansion under the UDAN scheme is part of India's broader plan to connect smaller cities and promote regional connectivity. Hindon's success story is seen as a model for future developments under UDAN 2.0, which aims to link 120 new destinations by 2035. The move not only saves time but also provides a cost-effective and hassle-free option for flyers in and around Delhi NCR.
