On June 17, 2025, Air India announced the cancellation of several international flights, leaving passengers across key global routes stranded or rescheduled. Flights on routes such as Ahmedabad to London, Delhi to Paris, London to Amritsar, and Mumbai to San Francisco were among those affected.
According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), five cancelled Air India flights involved Boeing 787 aircraft. The aviation regulator has reportedly advised the airline to take steps to reduce delays caused by maintenance issues.
In response, Air India attributed the disruptions to a mix of technical problems and external factors, such as weather. It said it had made alternative arrangements for affected passengers—including rebookings and full refunds.
