Air India has announced the cancellation of over 60 flights on India-US routes in November and December due to a shortage of available aircraft. This decision impacts passengers traveling during the peak holiday season.

Reason for Cancellations

According to Air India, the cancellations are due to the delayed return of some aircraft from heavy maintenance and ongoing supply chain constraints. The airline did not specify destinations in its official statement.

Affected Routes

Some major India-US routes will see cancellations, especially on flights from Delhi and Mumbai to U.S. cities like Chicago, Washington, and San Francisco. A breakdown of affected flights includes:

• Delhi-Chicago: 14 flights canceled
• Delhi-Washington: 28 flights canceled
• Delhi-San Francisco (SFO): 12 flights canceled
• Mumbai-New York: 4 flights canceled
• Delhi-New York: 2 flights canceled

Passenger Support

Air India stated that affected customers have been notified. They are being offered alternative flights on other Air India Group services scheduled on the same day or nearby dates to minimize travel disruption.

This adjustment may impact holiday travel plans, so travelers should check their flight status and reach out to Air India for updated options.
