Air India on Thursday announced the details of flights affected by its temporary reduction in services operated by Boeing 787 and 777 aircraft.
In a fresh statement, the Tata Group-owned carrier clarified that the reductions arise from the decision to undertake enhanced pre-flight safety checks following last week’s plane crash in Ahmedabad.
“The objective is to restore schedule stability and minimise last-minute inconvenience to passengers,” the airline said.
