Following the tragic Ahmedabad crash that claimed 241 lives, Air India has temporarily reduced its international widebody services by 15 per cent from 20 June to mid-July. The airline cites enhanced safety checks and operational disruptions as key reasons and assures affected passengers of free rescheduling or full refunds.

Air India announced on Wednesday a significant, albeit temporary, reduction in its international operations utilizing widebody aircraft.

Air India said on Wednesday it will cut international operations on its widebody aircraft by 15% for the next few weeks, citing ongoing safety inspections and operational disruptions following last week's deadly crash of one of its Boeing 787 Dreamliners.

Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 carrying 242 people, crashed after taking off from Ahmedabad on its way to London.
