Air India said flights will be reduced on 16 international routes and suspended for 3 overseas destinations between 21 June and 15 July.
The Tata Group-owned airline, grappling with disruptions following the fatal plane crash on 12 June in Ahmedabad, said the objective is to restore schedule stability and minimise last-minute inconvenience to passengers.
The detailed announcement comes a day after the carrier said it would temporarily reduce flights operated with wide-body planes by 15 per cent.
“These reductions will be effective from 21 June 2025 and last until at least 15 July 2025,” the airline said in a statement.
Services will be suspended on the Delhi–Nairobi, Amritsar–London (Gatwick) and Goa (Mopa)–London (Gatwick) routes till 15 July.
While the Delhi–Nairobi route has four flights per week, the Amritsar–London (Gatwick) and Goa (Mopa)–London (Gatwick) routes each have three flights a week, according to the airline.
In addition, flights will be reduced on 16 international routes connecting cities in North America, Europe, Australia and the Far East.
The routes in North America which will see reduced frequencies are Delhi–Toronto, Delhi–Vancouver, Delhi–San Francisco, Delhi–Chicago and Delhi–Washington.
“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 statement said.
