Air India will partially restore its international flight schedule which were put on hold following the flight AI171 plane crash on June 12, the airline said on Tuesday.
“The pause enabled Air India to perform additional precautionary checks on its Boeing 787 aircraft as well as accommodating longer flying times arising from airspace closures over Pakistan and the Middles East,” the airlines said.
According to the Air India statement, it will resume its thrice-weekly service between Ahmedabad and London Heathrow from August 1 to September 30. This service will replace the currently operating five-times-a-week flights between Ahmedabad and London Gatwick.
