Air India US Flight Cancellation: The severe winter storm that hit the US East Coast increased the problems of thousands of passengers who were to travel on Air India flights to New York and Newark. Due to heavy snowfall and bad weather, Air India has canceled all flights going to both the cities for two days. According to Air India, all flights to and from New York and Newark will be canceled on January 25 and 26.

Flight operation can be risky

Airline sources said that flight operations can be quite risky amid heavy snowfall, strong winds and low visibility. Snow-covered runways and freezing conditions can make both take-off and landing risky. In view of the bad weather, Air India has taken an important operational decision. The airline has canceled all its flights to New York and Newark on January 25 and 26, giving priority to passenger safety and crew convenience.

Timing of cancellations may increase

The airline has also clarified that dedicated teams have been deployed for the passengers whose bookings are for these dates. These teams will provide re-booking, re-scheduling, refund and other necessary assistance. The airline has appealed to the passengers to check the status of their flight before going to the airport. There may be further schedule changes due to sudden change in weather. Passengers have been advised to keep checking the official website of Air India for regular updates.
