Air India Suspends International Routes to 3 Cities Until Mid-July
New Delhi : Air India said on Thursday that it will reduce flights on various internationa routes per week and temporarily suspend operations on three routes from June 21 to July 15, 2025.
This comes nearly a week after the June 12 AI-171 plane crash, involving a Boeing 787 in Gujarat's Ahmedabad.
"Further to the press statement released yesterday, 18 June 2025, which announced a temporary reduction in services operated by Boeing 787 and 777 aircraft, we wish to provide details on the flights affected. These reductions will be effective from 21 June 2025, and last until at least 15 July 2025," the airline said in a post on X.
"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 objective is to restore schedule stability and minimise last-minute inconvenience to passengers," it said.

Delhi-Seoul (Incheon): Reduced from 5x weekly to 4x weekly**" it added.
The airline said, "*Suspended until 30 June.**To operate 3x weekly from 21 June to 5 July, and 4x weekly from 6 July to 15 July."
"Air India apologises to the passengers affected by these curtailments, and is proactively contacting affected passengers to offer re-accommodation on alternative flights, complimentary rescheduling or full refunds as per their preference," it added.
On June 12, the London-bound Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed into a hostel complex of BJ Medical College in the Meghani Nagar area of Gujarat's Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.
The tragedy claimed 241 lives out of 242 onboard, including former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani.
