AI resumes flights from London

Mumbai: Air India will start its flights from the London airport, deploying the held-up aircraft at the Heathrow airport, subsequent to the partial opening of the European airspace on Tuesday, the airline said in a media statement. This operation, scheduled for Wednesday, will be on the London-Delhi and Toronto route, but is subject to due clearances from Eurocontrol.
Tuesday was the day sixth of disruption in air traffic due to the volcanic eruption in Iceland and the subsequent haze and volcanic ash cover. In India, this had impacted more than 40,000 passengers who were stranded across airports in the country.
On Wednesday, Air India may also operate one flight from Mumbai to London and subject to the opening of the Frankfurt Airport may decide to resume that flight, too. The airline will continue with its operations to the US, Canada and Chicago.
For all the passengers who were forced to reschedule their travel plans and are stranded at various airports across the country, the airliner will rebook tickets without any rebooking charges, but this facility is to be extended only to passengers who have confirmed bookings.
