New Delhi: Air India has cautioned travellers against possible changes to its flight operations connecting India with the United States after communication-related problems disrupted air traffic services across American airports. A nationwide ground stop has been put in place in the US, affecting aircraft departures and creating the possibility of delays for international passengers.
The airline communicated the development through its official X account, explaining that outages in systems supporting air traffic operations had affected departures from airports across the country. Although the disruption originated within the US aviation network, its impact could extend to Air India’s incoming and outgoing services, potentially affecting passengers on both sides of the route.
In view of the uncertainty, travellers have been asked to verify their flight schedules before heading to the airport. Air India has directed passengers to use its online flight management facility to obtain the latest information and make necessary adjustments to their travel plans. The airline is keeping a close watch on the situation and said further updates would be communicated as more information becomes available.
Passengers planning journeys between India and the US have been advised to remain alert to schedule notifications and check for changes before departure. The airline has not specified the extent or duration of the possible disruptions, as operations remain dependent on the evolving situation at US airports.
