Air India Cancels Delhi-Washington Flight AI103 and Return AI104 Due to Extended Maintenance After Vienna Fuel Stop
- On July 2, 2025, an Air India flight scheduled to travel from Delhi to Washington, DC was cancelled after a maintenance issue was discovered during a scheduled refuelling stop in Vienna, leading to the cancellation of the remaining portion of the journey.
- This occurred amid heightened oversight after a recent deadly Air India accident and subsequent discovery during routine inspections of an extended maintenance issue that needed urgent resolution before the aircraft could depart.
- The segment from Vienna to Washington, DC was cancelled, and passengers were asked to disembark. Consequently, the subsequent return service from Washington, DC to Delhi that connected through Vienna was also called off to facilitate necessary safety maintenance.
- Air India accommodated affected passengers by offering rebooking on alternate flights or full refunds, providing hotel stays in Vienna for those with valid entry permissions, in line with their commitment to enhanced safety measures prior to departure.
- The airline announced temporary service reductions to prioritize safety amid operational challenges like airspace closures, curfews, and congestion, aiming to lessen last-minute disruptions for passengers.
