Air India has canceled around 60 flights to the United States due to maintenance delays affecting its Boeing 777 and 787 fleets. These cancellations arise from operational constraints, causing significant disruptions during the busy winter season. Consequently, the airline faces challenges with aircraft availability, which hampers its ability to maintain regular flight schedules.

The airline’s statement highlights that it experiences delays in returning aircraft from heavy maintenance. Additionally, supply chain constraints exacerbate the issue, leading to a temporary reduction in its operating fleet. The impact of these factors results in the cancellation of various flights between now and the end of December.

Air India serves multiple U.S. destinations, including San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Newark, and Washington D.C. The most affected routes include Delhi to Washington Dulles, with 28 flights canceled, followed by Delhi to Chicago O’Hare with 14 cancellations. Other significant disruptions include Delhi to San Francisco with 12 canceled flights and several others affecting flights from Mumbai to New York.

This situation affects many travelers. Affected customers have the option to rebook on other Air India flights or receive full refunds. Despite these challenges, the airline has assured passengers that it will do its best to minimize inconvenience during this period.

Air India’s operational issues result from maintenance delays that hinder its ability to serve U.S. destinations efficiently. As the airline works through these challenges, travelers should remain informed about their flight statuses and available options.
