Several Air India flights cancelled due to maintenance, bad weather, and airspace restrictions

New Delhi: 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, Delhi, Melbourne, Pune, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, and Mumbai. As per the statement from Air India, "Air India's international flights AI906 from Dubai to Chennai; AI308 from Delhi to Melbourne; AI309 from Melbourne to Delhi; AI2204 from Dubai to Hyderabad and domestic flights AI874 from Pune to Delhi; AI456 from Ahmedabad to Delhi; AI-2872 from Hyderabad to Mumbai and AI571 from Chennai to Mumbai have been cancelled due to enhanced maintenance and operational reasons." The airline has offered full refunds or free rescheduling and is helping passengers with alternate travel plans. "We regret the inconvenience caused to passengers. Our colleagues on ground are making alternative arrangements for them to fly to their respective destinations at the earliest. Full refunds on cancellation or complimentary rescheduling has been offered to passengers," the statement reads. The airline has advised passengers to check their flight status on its website or call the customer care numbers for updates. "Due to the continuing enhanced checks on our aircraft, airspace restrictions and inclement weather, we anticipate some disruptions which will be duly communicated to passengers. Passengers are requested to check the status of their flights here or call our customer centre on 011 69329333, 011 69329999 or visit our website the statement further reads. 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. "Further to the press statement released yesterday, 18 June 2025, which announced a temporary reduction in services operated by Boeing 787 and 777 aircraft, we wish to provide details on the flights affected. These reductions will be effective from 21 June 2025, and last until at least 15 July 2025," the airline said in a post on X. "The reductions arise from the decision to voluntarily undertake enhanced pre-flight safety checks, as well as accommodate additional flight durations arising from airspace closures in the Middle East. The objective is to restore schedule stability and minimise last-minute inconvenience to passengers," it said.

Delta renames cabins and fare products

Beginning May 15, Delta customers booking flights from Oct. 1 will see new names for products. Delta Main will replace Main Cabin, Delta Comfort will replace Comfort Plus (Delta's extra-legroom product), and Delta First will replace First Class. Delta Premium Select and Delta One will remain unchanged. In addition, Delta will offer three options for the main cabin: Basic, Classic and Extra. Main Basic will replace Basic Economy but the product itself remains unchanged (seat assigned after check-in, Zone 8 boarding priority, cancellation with a fee for a partial eCredit, no mileage or status credit earned, and no entry into Delta Sky Clubs. Main Classic bookings earn five miles per dollar spent, a Delta eCredit if canceled, better boarding priority, same-day standby and the ability to choose a seat. Main Extra bookings receive even higher boarding priority, seven miles per dollar spent and refundability to the original form of payment along with all Main Classic benefits. The Basic and Classic options will exist across the Delta system, however Basic will be subject to availability. The Extra option will be limited to itineraries originating in the U.S. and Canada and in select international markets. If Extra is not available in a given market, customers will see the legacy Refundable product in its place. Source: Business Travel News
