AI India will suspend flights between Delhi to US capital Washington DC from September 1. The airline company issued an official statement in this regard on Monday (August 11, 2025). The airline stated the reason behind the cancellation of flights between the new-Delhi-Washington DC that many Boeing 787 Dreamliner will not be available for operations due to the retrofit program (repair work).
