Air India Express announced a seven‑day suspension of its Delhi‑Patna services, citing operational reasons. The cancellation affects all scheduled flights between the two capitals for the stated period.
Air India Express has confirmed that its scheduled services between Delhi and Patna will be halted for seven consecutive days. The airline attributed the suspension to operational constraints, though it did not disclose specific details.
All flights slated to operate on the route during the period have been cancelled, and passengers with existing bookings are being advised to contact the airline for rebooking or refunds. The carrier has set up a dedicated helpline and online portal to manage the surge in customer queries.
The move comes at a time when domestic air travel demand remains robust, and the temporary disruption may inconvenience business and leisure travelers traveling between the national capital and Bihar's capital. Air India Express has assured that normal operations will resume after the seven‑day window.
