Air India has organized a special flight scheduled for Sunday, October 19th, to transport 256 passengers from Milan to Delhi. This arrangement follows the cancellation of the original flight, AI 138, on October 17th, which was attributed to a technical issue with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The airline stated that the special flight is intended to facilitate the passengers’ return ahead of Diwali observances. During the period of disruption, Air India provided accommodation and meals for the affected travelers.
