An Air India flight from Delhi to Washington D.C. was grounded in Vienna following a technical issue discovered during a routine inspection after refueling on Wednesday. Flight AI103, which departed Delhi on July 2, made a scheduled stop in Vienna. The flight’s onward journey to Washington was postponed to allow for extensive maintenance. Passengers were disembarked, and the Vienna to Washington, DC leg was canceled. Consequently, the return flight, AI104 from Washington DC to Delhi (via Vienna), was also canceled, with affected passengers offered alternative flights or full refunds. This incident adds to the recent concerns over Air India’s operational reliability, coming after the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad in June.
