Air India cancels Delhi-Moscow flight amid Russia-Ukraine war

Air India has cancelled one return flight on the Delhi-Moscow-Delhi sector on Thursday, after carrying out normal flight operations so far since the war between Russia and Ukraine broke out on February 24. Confirming the cancellation, an Air India spokesperson denied commenting on the reason for the cancellation.

However, the Russian embassy said Air India has stopped selling tickets on the Delhi-Moscow-Delhi route and the prospects for the resumption of the services are uncertain

Air India operates Delhi-Moscow-Delhi flights twice a week and in absence of an Air India direct flight, passengers flying to Moscow will have to use transit routes through Tashkent, Istanbul, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha.
