DELHI-<\/strong> Tata Group owned Air India (AI)<\/a> flight from Delhi (DEL)<\/a> to Vancouver (YVR), which initially scheduled to depart on June 1 faced significant delay and departed on June 2 (Today).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two main reasons for cancellation, first there was technical issue with aircraft and another reason was the staff reaching their mandatory Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air India Delhi to Vancouver Delayed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Delhi-Vancouver <\/a>flight of Air India, which was to depart on Saturday morning, finally left at around 3:26 PM local time on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Air India spokesperson while addressing the issue said, \u201cAI185<\/strong>…was delayed because of technical issues and subsequently due to crew coming under the mandatory Flight Duty Time Limitations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to FlightRadar24 data, the Air India Flight AI185 was earlier schedule to operate by VT-ALO but due to technical problems, it was changed to operate by VT-ALT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VT-ALT is a 14-year-old Boeing 777 aircraft <\/a>and is powered by GE90 engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of publication of this post, the flight is airborne and flying over Russian airspace. It will land 9 hours later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the third instance in a week that Air India’s long-haul flights to North America has been delayed significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar Encounters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, the Delhi-San Francisco (SFO) flight<\/a>, scheduled to depart at around 3:30 pm on Thursday, was delayed for over 30 hours and eventually took off at 9:55 pm the following day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, the airline issued an apology and offered each passenger on the delayed San Francisco flight a travel voucher worth USD 350 or around 29,000 INR. The delay was attributed to multiple factors, including issues with the Boeing 777 aircraft’s air-conditioning system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the recent delays and inadequate passenger care, the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued a notice to Air India, seeking an explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The notice specifically cited the delays of two flights: AI183 from Delhi to San Francisco on May 30 and AI179 from Mumbai to San Francisco<\/a> on May 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I personally think Air India really needs to up its game, especially in this monopoly and profitable routes. According to unknown source, the Air India’s 70% flight delays come from its US flights, which is way higher for such reputed carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
