Air India Halts Delhi-Washington Flights from September 1
Air India is stopping its flights between Delhi and Washington starting September 1st.
This is happening because some of their Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner planes need to be updated, making them unavailable for flights.
This decision comes after a recent plane crash in Ahmedabad in June, involving the same type of plane.
Due to the incident, several changes are being made to ensure safety.
Air India is suspending Delhi-Washington flights starting September 1.
The suspension is due to operational factors, including the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner retrofit.
Multiple Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner planes are unavailable.
This announcement follows the June 12th Air India crash.
The crash occurred in Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff.
