Air India to refund fare, give travel voucher to passengers who were stranded in Russia

IndiaTimes Thursday, 8 June 2023
In a rare gesture, Tata Group’s Air India will give a full refund to passengers of the June 6 Delhi-San Francisco (SFO) nonstop which had to be diverted to Magadan in Russia after the Boeing 777’s engine developed a snag. The 232 passengers and crew members finally reached SFO at 12.37 pm Thursday (IST), on the alternate AI aircraft sent from Mumbai. They had left Delhi on June 6 at 4.05 am (IST). So what was to be a 14-15 hour nonstop eventually turned out to be an almost 57-hour journey with the 39-hour stop in Magadan.

The United Arab Emirates witnessed an unprecedented deluge, marking its most substantial rainfall on record since 1949. Described as a "historic weather event" by the state-run WAM news agency, the widespread downpour across the UAE is attributed to a combination of factors, including cloud seeding initiatives. Significant disruptions have been reported in flights from India to Dubai due to heavy rains causing flooding at the emirate's airport, one of the world's busiest. Air India, operating 72 weekly flights from multiple Indian cities to Dubai, alongside IndiGo, have cancelled their services on Wednesday. Other carriers, including Air India Express, Vistara, and SpiceJet, which also serve various Indian cities to Dubai routes, have been affected as well.
