The suspension was part of a self-imposed “Safety Pause” that allowed the airline to carry out additional checks on its Boeing 787 fleet.
“I recognise that there have been some operational challenges over the last few weeks that may have impacted your travel experience. Rest assured, we take this seriously and are committed to strengthening our internal processes to minimise such inconvenience,” said Wilson
“This measured approach ensures we complete every verification thoroughly and resume service with complete confidence.”
The full resumption of international services is expected to help stabilise Air India’s flight schedules and restore key long-haul routes.
