New Delhi: Further to the press statement released on, 18 June 2025, which announced a temporary reduction in services operated by Boeing 787 and 777 aircraft, we wish to provide detail on the flights affected.
These reductions will be effective from 21 June 2025, and last until at least 15 July 2025.
The reductions arise from the decision to voluntary undertake enhanced pre-flight safety checks, as well as accommodate additional flight durations arising from airspace closures in the Middle East. The objective is to restore schedule stability and minimizing last-minute inconvenience to passengers.
