Tata Group-owned full-service airline Air India announced on Tuesday, 17 June 2025, that the company will provide full refunds on cancellations and rescheduling, among other things, to the passengers who were set to travel on the AI 159 flight from Ahmedabad to London (Gatwick).
“We regret the inconvenience caused to our passengers and have made alternative arrangements to fly them to their destination. We are providing hotel accommodation and also offering full refunds on cancellations or complimentary rescheduling if opted by the passengers,” said the Air India spokesperson on Tuesday.
Air India Flight Cancelled
On 17 June 2025, the Ahmedabad to London (Gatwick) flight was cancelled due to the aircraft’s unavailability, resulting from airspace restrictions and additional precautionary checks.
“Flight AI159 from Ahmedabad to Gatwick has been cancelled today due to the unavailability of the aircraft, resulting from airspace restrictions and additional precautionary checks, leading to longer than usual turnaround of aircraft, and not due to any technical snag as claimed,” said Air India refuting the allegations of a ‘technical failure.’
“Consequently, flight AI170 from London Gatwick to Amritsar of 17 June stands cancelled,” said the company spokesperson.
