AIR INDIA’S VIENNA PIT STOP TURNS INTO A GROUNDED DRAMA
When a quick fuel stop turns into a maintenance marathon, passengers get an unexpected layover in Vienna.
Air India flight AI 103, en route from Delhi to Washington, had a planned fuel stop in Vienna—but things didn’t go as smoothly as hoped. During routine checks, an extended maintenance issue popped up, forcing the airline to cancel the Vienna-to-Washington leg. Passengers were disembarked and either rebooked on alternative flights or offered full refunds. The ripple effect also grounded the return flight AI 104 from Washington to Delhi via Vienna.
So, what was supposed to be a quick pit stop turned into a safety-first delay, with hotel stays arranged for those eligible to stay in Austria. Air India emphasized this was part of their enhanced safety checks to avoid last-minute surprises and keep passengers safe.
