Air India has announced multiple flight cancellations and schedule changes between June and August 2026 due to operational issues, airspace restrictions, and rising Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) costs. The changes will affect several domestic and international routes connected to Ahmedabad, including flights to London, Delhi, and Mumbai.
In its official statement, the airline said some flights during the June–August period have been adjusted because of operational constraints and increased operating expenses. Passengers have been advised to check revised schedules before travelling.
The airline said affected travellers will be offered alternative Air India flights, free date changes, or full refunds wherever applicable.
Among the major international changes, the weekly Ahmedabad–London Gatwick service (AI 159/160) operating on Saturdays will remain suspended from August 8 to August 29. The cancelled service includes departures from Ahmedabad at 1:10 pm and return flights from London at 8:00 pm.
Several Ahmedabad–Delhi and Ahmedabad–Mumbai flights will also remain suspended during June and July. Flights AI 423/424 between Delhi and Ahmedabad scheduled for August have been withdrawn, while multiple Mumbai–Ahmedabad services, including AI 493/494, AI 2503/2504, and AI 2915/2916, will stay cancelled during different periods.
The Ahmedabad–Delhi sector has been among the worst affected. Air India has cancelled AI 809/810 for the full June–July period, along with AI 1787/1876 and AI 2545/2546 on selected dates. Flights AI 2946 and AI 2959 between Ahmedabad and Delhi will also remain suspended on multiple days.
The airline has not shared route-specific reasons for the cancellations but said the changes are part of wider network adjustments due to operational challenges and higher costs.
Passengers have been advised to check their flight status before leaving for the airport to avoid inconvenience during the peak summer and monsoon travel season.
