Washington-bound Air India flight from Delhi was cancelled mid-way on Wednesday after it made a planned fuel refill stop in Vienna.
The airline announced that AI 103 flight from Vienna to Washington was cancelled because of a glitch in the aircraft. During routine aircraft checks at Vienna, the airline identified an extended maintenance task. The snag required rectification before the next flight, due to which the Vienna to Washington, DC leg was cancelled, said Air India's spokesperson in a statement.
The passengers were asked to disembark the flight as it required additional time for completion of maintenance work.
Following the cancellation of AI 103, the return flight from Washington, DC to Delhi was also cancelled, as informed by the spokesperson.
The airline rebooked the affected passengers on alternative flights to Delhi or offered full refunds based on their preferences.
The disruptions in Air India's services continue to build a string since the Ahmedabad plane crash. Another Air India aircraft, AI 357 from Tokyo to Delhi, was diverted to Kolkata on June 29 due to high cabin temperatures. The announcement came after the crew noticed unusually high temperatures in the aircraft's cabin. However, the airline confirmed that the diversion was a precautionary measure and that the aircraft landed safely without incident.
