Air India cancels New York, Newark flights as winter storm looms
Air India has cancelled all flights to and from New York and Newark for two days as a powerful winter storm is forecast to hit the US East Coast, disrupting air travel and prompting safety concerns.
Air India has cancelled its New York and Newark services amid warnings of a severe winter storm expected to impact large parts of the US East Coast, including New York and New Jersey. The cancellations apply to flights operating on January 25 and 26, with the airline citing passenger and crew safety as the primary reason.
According to Air India, the decision was taken in view of forecasts predicting heavy snowfall, strong winds and hazardous flying conditions, which could significantly disrupt airport operations and ground handling services at major US hubs.
The airline has issued a travel advisory and said affected passengers will be offered rebooking, rescheduling or refunds as per applicable policies. Travellers have been advised to regularly check flight status through official channels and contact customer support for assistance.
The move comes as airlines across the region brace for widespread disruptions, with authorities warning of potential delays, cancellations and airport shutdowns as the storm approaches. The winter system is expected to impact road, rail and air travel, prompting airlines to take pre-emptive measures.
Air India said it will continue to monitor weather conditions and update passengers as the situation evolves.
