An Air India flight from Delhi to Washington, DC, was diverted and halted in Vienna, Austria, on July 2 after a maintenance issue arose during a scheduled fuel stop. Flight AI103, which was operating on time, made its planned refuelling halt in Vienna, where routine checks revealed a maintenance task that required urgent attention. As the repair was expected to take longer than anticipated, the continuation of the flight to Washington, DC, was cancelled. All passengers were safely disembarked in Vienna.
"Flight AI103 from Delhi to Washington, DC on 2nd July made a planned fuel stop in Vienna. During routine aircraft checks, an extended maintenance task was identified, which required rectification before the next flight and, thus, additional time for completion. Due to this, the Vienna to Washington, DC leg was cancelled, and passengers were disembarked," an Air India spokesperson said, according to the news agency ANI.
The disruption also impacted the return journey, leading to the cancellation of flight AI104 from Washington, DC to Delhi via Vienna.
"Consequently, flight AI104 from Washington, DC to Delhi via Vienna was also cancelled, and the affected passengers have been rebooked on alternative flights to Delhi or offered full refunds based on their preferences," the spokesperson added, according to the report.
