Two Air India Flights Diverted Due to Bad Weather
Two Air India flights were going to different cities in the UK.
One was from Mumbai to London, and the other was from Amritsar to Birmingham.
Both flights had to change their landing places because the weather was very bad at their original destinations.
The first flight, which was a Boeing 777, had to wait near London and then land at a different airport called London Gatwick.
The second flight, which was a Boeing 787, also had to wait and then land at London Heathrow instead of Birmingham.
The time difference between India and the UK is about 5.30 hours.
Air India is helping the passengers who were affected by these changes.
