The domestic and international flight schedule of Air India will be impacted from January 19 to January 26 on account of the airspace restriction imposed for three hours every day for a week by the Indian Air Force. Air India informed that the impact on flights is particular to flights which will arrive or depart from Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport in Delhi.
Going ahead, the airline has clarified that international flights have been rescheduled but not cancelled.
The airline company cited compliance with Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued by the Delhi Airport for the rescheduling and alteration in domestic and international flights between 19-26 January. Hence the airline has taken appropriate measures to cancel as well as reschedule flights while minimising disruptions.
“To adhere to NOTAM, Air India will be cancelling all flights operating to and from Delhi across the 7-day period during the time range as mentioned above." the official statement read. This means any flight by Air India flying to or out of national capital Delhi between 10:30 am to 12:45pm during the above-mentioned days have been cancelled.
“This has been done without causing disruptions on other routes. Flights operating earlier or later than the prescribed time range will continue to operate as usual." the airline added.
Besides, international flights that will be flying to or out of Delhi from January 19 to 23, 2023 between 10:30 am to 12:45pm will be realigned.
