Air India Bhubaneswar-Delhi Flight Scrapped: Heat Wave Grounds Plane
An Air India flight scheduled from Bhubaneswar to Delhi on August 4, 2025, was cancelled due to excessively high cabin temperatures. The airline has not yet released details regarding the number of passengers affected or the specific aircraft model involved.
This incident marks the second technical snag reported for Air India within a single day. The development follows closely on the heels of recent findings by aviation safety regulators.
Passengers affected by the cancellation are currently being accommodated on alternative flights. Air India is working to minimise disruption for those inconvenienced.
This incident raises serious concerns about aircraft maintenance and passenger safety, especially given the recent regulatory scrutiny. The lack of transparency from Air India regarding the specifics further adds to public anxieties. The government needs to ensure stringent oversight of airline operations to prevent similar incidents in the future and protect the rights of air travellers.
