Air India cancels flights to New York and Newark due to winter storm

Air India has announced the cancellation of all flights to and from New York and Newark on January 25 and 26. The move comes ahead of a severe winter storm expected to hit the US East Coast. The airline operates daily flights from Delhi and Mumbai to New York, and daily services from Delhi to Newark. Mumbai to Newark flights run on selected days.

According to Air India, the storm is expected to bring heavy snowfall to New York, New Jersey, and surrounding areas from early Sunday morning through Monday. The airline said this could significantly affect flight operations. "In view of the safety, well-being and convenience of our passengers and crew, all Air India



flights to and from New York and Newark have been cancelled on 25 and 26 January," the airline posted on X.

The winter storm has already caused widespread disruptions across the US. Thousands of flights have been cancelled, and airlines are preparing for further interruptions.  Air India stated that dedicated teams will provide assistance to passengers affected by the cancellations.

The US National Weather Service (NWS) has advised the public to take the storm seriously. Moderate to major impacts are expected across the Central US and Northeast through the weekend, potentially affecting travel, power, and daily activities.
