Air India Cancels All New York And Newark Flights For Two Days

Air India on Saturday announced the cancellation of all its flights to and from New York and Newark for two days, citing a forecast of heavy snowfall and severe winter weather in parts of the US East Coast. The decision has been taken as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of passengers and crew members.

In an official travel advisory, the airline stated that the cancellations will apply to all flights scheduled on January 25 and January 26. The move comes amid warnings of a powerful winter storm expected to impact New York, New Jersey, and surrounding regions from early Sunday through Monday.

The airline added that passenger safety, well-being, and operational considerations prompted the decision to suspend services on these routes.
