Air India: Tata Group’s Air India has been forced to cancel about 60 flights on the India-US route between November and December this year due to aircraft maintenance problems and supply chain disruptions. According to a source, the canceled flights include services to San Francisco and Chicago, which will affect the peak travel time.
Air India said in a statement without naming the destinations that a limited number of flights have been cancelled between November and December due to maintenance and supply chain delays. The affected passengers have been informed about this and have been given the option of traveling in other Air India services.
Sources told PTI that between November 15 and December 31, Air India has cancelled flights to San Francisco, Washington, Chicago, Newark and New York as there is not enough availability of wide-body aircraft for these destinations. 14 flights on Delhi-Chicago route, 28 flights on Delhi-Washington route, 12 flights on Delhi-San Francisco route, 4 flights on Mumbai-New York route and 2 flights on Delhi-Newark route have been cancelled.
According to sources, Air India is facing delays in getting aircraft from the MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) operator, as well as some large-sized aircraft are temporarily out of service due to technical problems. An Air India spokesperson said, “There has been a temporary reduction in the operational fleet due to challenges in maintenance and supply chain. Air India regrets this.”
