Air India halts international flights amid safety concerns

Air India suddenly canceled three big international flights on Wednesday, June 18, 2025—Toronto-Delhi, Dubai-Delhi, and Delhi-Bali.
Some passengers were already on board when the news came.
The Bali flight even had to turn back mid-air because of a volcanic eruption near the airport.

TL;DR

Air India is offering refunds or rescheduling

If your plans got messed up, Air India is offering refunds or rescheduling.
These cancelations are part of a bigger wave—over 80 wide-body flights have been dropped since June 12 after stricter safety checks kicked in following a recent crash scare.
It's a tough reminder that airline tech issues and safety rules can shake up travel plans fast, but at least passenger safety is coming first.
