Lack of Boeing 787, PAK airspace closed; Air India's Delhi-Washington flights will remain suspended from September 1
Air India flight suspension: Air India has suspended Delhi-Washington flights from September 1. There are two reasons for this. First - lack of planes and second - Pakistan. Air India said on Monday that this suspension is being done due to a temporary shortage of planes in the company's fleet. The airline started the process of retrofitting its 26 Boeing 787-8 aircraft last month.
Air India's Delhi-Washington flights are set to continue suspending from September 1. The primary reason behind this is the lack of Boeing-787 Dreamliner planes, as renovation work is underway in the fleet of aging aircraft.
Besides this, this has also been done because the Pakistani airspace has been closed. The airline is owned by the Tata Group and has five flights a week from Delhi to Washington (Air India Delhi-Washington Flight). Dreamliner planes are employed for this.
