Air India cancelled its flight AI349, which was scheduled to operate from Singapore to Chennai on Sunday, due to a maintenance issue that was discovered before departure, requiring more time to fix, according to an airline statement.

Making “every possible effort to minimise the inconvenience" caused to the passengers due to this unforeseen disruption, it said.

“Flight AI349, scheduled to operate from Singapore to Chennai on 3 August, has been cancelled due to a maintenance task identified before departure, which required additional time for rectification. Our ground colleagues in Singapore are making every possible effort to minimise the inconvenience caused to the passengers due to this unforeseen disruption," the Air India Spokesperson said in a statement on X.

The arrangements were made to fly the passengers to Chennai at the earliest, it said.

“Hotel accommodation is being provided, and full refunds on cancellation or complimentary rescheduling are also being offered to passengers based on their preference. At Air India, the safety and well-being of passengers and crew remain top priority," the statement later added.

Air India advised passengers to check the airline’s official website and contact customer care for updates.

Earlier today, passengers scheduled to fly from Bhubaneswar to Delhi on Air India’s flight AI500 faced unexpected disruptions as the airline cancelled the service due to a technical issue.

The airline cited abnormal cabin temperatures on the ground as the reason behind the cancellation.

“Flight AI500, scheduled to operate from Bhubaneswar to Delhi on 3 August, has been cancelled due to a technical issue causing high cabin temperature on the ground before the departure. Our airport team in Bhubaneswar is assisting the impacted passengers with alternative arrangements to fly them to their destination, Delhi. We regret the inconvenience caused," an Air India Spokesperson said in an official statement.
