Aircraft shortage and Snags: Air India today cancels nine long halls, mostly on Dreamliner. Bharat News
New Delhi: Air India on Tuesday canceled at least eight international flights to operate on Boeing 787 Dreamliner and a B777. B787 were for cancellation: Ahmedabad-London Gatwick; Gatvik-amrit; Vienna, Paris and Dubai from Delhi; Bangalore-Landon and Return and Paris-Delhi. A Boeing 777 (not a Dreamliner) San Francisco (SFO) -Colkata (where it takes a fuel stop) -Mumbai was found a technical issue in Kolkata on Tuesday and grounded from there. As a result, the Mumbai-SFO was canceled to operate it. Similarly, for Dreamliners, except Vienna, the return areas were also affected, where a B787 was parked to work in Delhi.
After the Ahmedabad accident, AI now has 33 Dreamliner, four of which are subject to major maintenance. About 24 out of 29 B787 have passed through DGCA-Oded One-Time check. In more complex cases for AI, the Israeli-Iran is a longer route from the west after the War, as the airspace of Iran has been closed with other people like Jordan. This has extended the flight time for about an hour. In addition, this means that the pilots and the cabin crew have to fly for a long time, due to which the AI has sought rest from the DGCA to work for longer work than the criteria prescribed for safety to ensure that the crew is not tired. As and when DGCA withdraws this crew time duty limit, which is expecting stressed pilots now, the lack of the crew will add the problem.So AI now has less Dreamliner (which operates to Europe/UK/Far East and Australia). In addition, the airline has expanded large -scale routes over the last two years, while the global supply chain issues have slowed down the new aircraft rather than induction. As a result, the airline has diluted itself that affects the performance of time because there is hardly any buffer if an aircraft is less than the optimal technical autocratic reliability with the old – the technical cause is grounded for the technical cause.Meanwhile, about Tuesday’s cancellation, AI said: “Gatwiks from Ahmedabad (which AI 171 used to be earlier) was canceled due to the aircraft unavailability, resulting in a longer aerspace ban and additional precautionary checks, which extended longer than London than the normal change of aircraft.“AI143 was canceled from Delhi to Paris on 17 June. Compulsory prior-object investigations identified an issue, which is currently being addressed. However, the said flight has been canceled in view of the flight under restrictions on night operation at Paris Charles de Gaul (CDG) airport. As a result, flight AI142 from Paris to Delhi was also canceled on June 18, 2025, ”AI said in a statement.While Delhi-Viana was canceled on Tuesday, there was a Dreamliner in the Austrian capital, which is expected to fly to Delhi on Tuesday. Therefore the return gap was not canceled. AI is “alternative arrangements for flying at its destination (passengers) as soon as possible. We are providing hotel housing and offering full refunds on cancellation or honor re -radiation when they are selected by passengers.,
