Air India Issues Advisory Following Flight Disruptions in the US

New Delhi: The suspension of air services in the United States—caused by a technical glitch in telecommunication services linked to air traffic operations—has now been lifted. However, the severe disruption caused significant inconvenience to passengers. A nationwide ground stop, mandated by the US Federal Aviation Administration, had led to a temporary halt in aircraft departures. Meanwhile, Air Canada announced the cancellation of all its flights to and from the United States. Air India has also issued a travel advisory for its passengers.

Air Canada Cancels All US-Bound and Departing Flights
Air Canada stated that, due to the ground stop issued by the FAA, it has cancelled all flights to and from the United States for the remainder of the evening. The airline did not specify the total number of flights affected by this decision.

Potential Impact on Air India Flights
In a travel advisory posted on the social media platform X, Air India noted that flight operations at airports across the US are being affected by disruptions to communication services. This situation could also impact Air India flights operating between India and the United States.

The airline has urged passengers to check their flight status before leaving for the airport and to plan their travel accordingly. Air India stated that its teams are continuously monitoring the situation and will provide updates to passengers as new information becomes available. At present, it remains unclear when communication systems in the US will return to normal and when regular air service operations will be fully restored.
