Air India experienced another operational setback when a Delhi to Washington D.C. flight was delayed in Vienna due to a technical problem. The issue emerged during a post-refueling inspection. The flight, identified as AI103, had a scheduled stop in Vienna. The airline decided to postpone the Washington-bound leg of the journey to allow for maintenance. The Vienna to Washington, DC segment was canceled, and passengers were accommodated. The return flight, AI104 from Washington DC to Delhi (via Vienna), was also cancelled, prompting the airline to offer alternative flight options or full refunds. The incident raises further questions about Air India’s operational performance, following the recent Ahmedabad crash.
