Air India suspends international Boeing 787/777 flights on 19 routes effective June 21—Details inside

Air India International Flights Reduced Operations June-July 2025 News: A day after announcing a temporary reduction of 15 per cent in its widebody aircraft-operated international services, Air India on Thursday said the move will be in effect from June 21 and last until at least July 15. The curtailment, the Tata group airline said, is part of its decision to voluntary undertake enhanced pre-flight safety checks and to accommodate additional flight durations arising from airspace closures in the Middle East. The objective is to restore schedule stability while minimizing last-minute inconvenience to passengers, said Air India.
