'Airspace restrictions...': Air India cancels Ahmedabad-London flight; airline issues statement
Following a recent fatal Dreamliner crash, Air India's Ahmedabad to London flight AI159 was cancelled due to a technical issue detected before departure. This cancellation occurred as the airline grapples with multiple technical problems across its fleet, including incidents involving flights from San Francisco to Mumbai and Hong Kong to Delhi, raising concerns about operational disruptions. "Flight AI159 from Ahmedabad to Gatwick has been cancelled today due to the unavailability of the aircraft, resulting from airspace restrictions and additional precautionary checks, leading to longer than usual turnaround of aircraft, and not due to any technical snag as claimed. We regret the inconvenience caused to our passengers and have made alternative arrangements to fly them to their destination. We are providing hotel accommodation and also offering full refunds on cancellations or complimentary rescheduling if opted by the passengers. Consequently, flight AI170 from London Gatwick to Amritsar on 17th June stands cancelled," Air India said.

Cabin crew said some checks were on." The flyer said, "After an hour, the pilot said there were some technical problems in the engine and a team of engineers would check these. The engineers took around 40-45 minutes to come. They said after 15 minutes the plane was ready for take-off, but it didn't move for another half-an-hour. We saw the ladder being attached to the aircraft door. Again the checks started. It was 12.30am by then." Rokade said, "There was no provision of any refreshments.

Rise in helicopter crashes may spur 15-30% hike in insurance premiums
Helicopter insurance premiums in India are likely to rise by 15–30 per cent owing to a recent spate of domestic accidents and mounting aviation losses faced by global reinsurers, industry insiders said. Aviation insurance is largely a reinsurance-driven area, with the general aviation market comprising corporate jets, helicopters and others accounting for 15 per cent of the segment in India. The remaining is commercial aviation. In FY25, the premium accumulated from the aviation segment in India was nearly ₹1,010 crore, up 4 per cent from the previous year. In general aviation, the premium rates are calculated based on the age and seating capacity of the hull combined with liability. The hull value of helicopters ranges from ₹25 crore to ₹30 crore going all the way up to ₹100 crore. The average premium in the helicopter segment is also around ₹75 lakh, according to industry experts. This is likely to increase by 25-30 per cent in line with the overall hardening in the aviation insurance market. 'There have been 5-6 helicopter crashes in the last few months. Overall, Indian insurers are under pressure in terms of premium versus claims. We have seen rates rising steeply for smaller rotor wing operators, like those who fly to Kedarnath, Chardham, or maybe small general aviation helicopter operators. In some cases, the premium has also doubled. Also, amid the Air India crash, there will be a hardening in the insurance market in the coming months,' an insurance broker said. On June 15, a helicopter crashed in Kedarnath, making it the fifth such incident in the Char Dham route, since the pilgrimage started on April 30. This comes days after the crash of Air India AI-171 in Ahmedabad. Previously, six people died when a helicopter crashed in Uttarkashi on May 8. Similarly, a crash was averted in Badrinath on May 12. On May 17, an air ambulance crashed in Kedarnath but no casualty was reported. On June 7, a helicopter on its way to Kedarnath made an emergency landing on the highway due to technical snag, developed during take-off. Additionally, rates in the aviation sector are also expected to increase due to huge claim outgo in the Air India crash combined with the ruling by the London High Court regarding jets stranded in Russia, among others. 'Helicopter insurance rates are expected to increase due to a combination of domestic accidents and significant global aviation losses. A series of high-profile claims, including a UK court ruling of $4.5 billion and other aviation incidents like the Air India and Boeing 737 MAX losses, are straining global reinsurers. Also, the overall aviation insurance premium rates are likely to harden due to limited capacity, heightened geopolitical risks and currency fluctuations. Premiums for helicopters may also rise 15–25 per cent, in-line with the overall aviation insurance segment,' an insurance executive said.

DGCA reviews Air India operations, says Boeing 787 surveillance did not find major safety concern
Aviation watchdog DGCA on Tuesday said surveillance of Air India's Boeing 787 fleet did not reveal any major safety concerns in the wake of the fatal plane crash in Ahmedabad last week read more Aviation watchdog DGCA on Tuesday said surveillance of Air India's Boeing 787 fleet did not reveal any major safety concerns in the wake of the fatal plane crash in Ahmedabad last week. Amid mounting safety concerns and the cancellation of at least 66 flights that were to be operated with Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, DGCA officials held a detailed review meeting with top Air India and Air India Express executives. At the review meeting, the DGCA flagged concerns regarding recent maintenance-related issues reported at Air India. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD On June 13, a day after the B787-8 crash that killed 241 people on board, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation ordered enhanced surveillance of Air India's Boeing 787 fleet, comprising 26 787-8 and seven 787-9. 'The recent surveillance conducted on Air India's Boeing 787 fleet did not reveal any major safety concerns. The aircraft and associated maintenance systems were found to be compliant with existing safety standards,' DGCA said in a statement. As many as 66 flights that were to be operated with B787 aircraft were cancelled from June 12 to June 17. During this period, the airline operated 248 flights with B787. To address the maintenance-related issues, DGCA has issued certain directions to the Tata Group-owned airlines. 'The airline was advised to strengthen internal coordination across engineering, operations, ground handling units and ensure availability of adequate spares to mitigate passenger delays resulting from such issues and strictly adhere to regulations,' the statement. Air India and Air India Express operate over 1,000 flights daily. The regulator has recommended the implementation of a more systematic and real-time defect reporting mechanism to ensure that operational and safety-critical departments receive timely updates. This is expected to enhance overall decision-making and reduce downstream disruptions. The meeting was convened to review the operational robustness of the airlines and ensure continued compliance with safety and passenger service regulations. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Meanwhile, the Iranian airspace closure has disrupted flight operations by Indian carriers to European and Gulf countries. 'The impact of recent airspace closures, particularly over Iranian airspace, was reviewed. The closures have led to flight diversions, delays, and cancellations. 'The operators have been asked to ensure timely communication with passengers and crew and adopt alternate routing strategies to minimize disruptions,' the statement said. The DGCA also said that passengers should be informed well in advance regarding delays and cancellations. 'Emphasis was placed on effective passenger facilitation and timely dissemination of information through all available channels,' it added.
