Following the June 12 crash of flight AI171 involving a Boeing 787 in Ahmedabad, Air India suspended and reduced several international routes for a “safety pause” to perform extensive aircraft inspections.

Ahmedabad → London Heathrow: 3x weekly (replacing Gatwick service)
Delhi–Paris: Reduced to 7x/week (from 12)
