3 July 2025 : An Air India flight headed to Washington from New Delhi made a stop for fuelling in Austria’s Vienna, but never took off from there.
Flightradar24 data of AI103 shows that it took off from Delhi on July 2 and landed in Vienna. While a departure for Washington was scheduled on the same day, it never happened.
According to Air India, the flight’s stoppage in Vienna was planned, but it overstayed in the city as an extended maintenance task was identified during routine checks.
“Due to this, the Vienna to Washington, DC leg was cancelled, and passengers were disembarked,” the Air India spokesperson said.
Besides, the AI104, from from Washington, DC to Delhi via Vienna, was also cancelled. Passengers supposed to take this flight were either provided alternative flights or given full refunds on their tickets, as per their preference.
Summary:
A technical snag during a Vienna fuel stop led to the cancellation of Air India’s Delhi–Washington flight. Passengers were rebooked or refunded.
