Air India Cancels Ahmedabad-London, Delhi-Paris Flights Due Operational Issues

Air India cancelled its flight AI-159 from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick due to operational reasons linked to aircraft unavailability, which stemmed from airspace restrictions and precautionary checks rather than technical glitches. This cancellation caused significant passenger inconvenience and confusion at Ahmedabad airport, where airline staff were reportedly unable to provide clear explanations or refund information. The disruptions followed the recent crash of flight AI-171 on the same route, which heightened passenger anxiety and operational scrutiny. Additionally, Air India cancelled its Delhi-Paris flight due to a hydraulic system leak, compounding the day's travel disruptions. The airline has offered alternatives such as hotel accommodations, rescheduling options, and refunds to affected passengers. Multiple other Air India flights also experienced technical issues or delays recently, reflecting ongoing operational challenges for the carrier.
