In a brief statement, Air India said these cancellations are due to “enhanced maintenance and operational reasons.” The airline has not given a timeline for when these services will resume but assured that passengers will be informed of any changes or rescheduling.

Passengers booked on these routes have been advised to check with the airline or visit the official website for the latest updates. Many have taken to social media expressing frustration and confusion over the sudden cancellations.

The cancellations are expected to affect travel plans for hundreds, especially as some of these routes are high-traffic and include international long-haul flights. It remains unclear if more flights may be affected in the coming hours.

Additionally, Air India also cancelled several of its international flights for security reasons due to the tensions that are on a continuous rise in the Middle East between Israel and Iran.

Air India will temporarily reduce the schedule of a number of foreign flights starting on June 21, 2025, and continuing at least until July 15, 2025.  Due to airspace limitations occurring in the Middle East, the airline is adjusting for extended flight durations and implementing specific additional safety procedures before takeoff.
 These adjustments are intended to “restore schedule stability and minimize last-minute inconvenience to passengers,” according to the airline.

This is a developing story. More details are awaited.
