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 June 21, 2025, and last until at least 15 July 2025,” the airline said in a statement.
Services will be suspended on Delhi-Nairobi, Amritsar-London (Gatwick) and Goa (Mopa)-London (Gatwick) till July 15.
Besides, flights will be reduced on 16 international routes connecting cities in North America, Europe, Australia and the Far East.
“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.
On Thursday, Air India again apologised to the passengers affected by these curtailments.
The airline said it is proactively contacting affected passengers to offer re-accommodation on alternative flights, complimentary rescheduling or full refunds as per their preference. PTI IAS RAM BAL BAL
