An Air India flight en route from Delhi to Washington, DC was grounded in Vienna on Wednesday after a routine inspection during a scheduled fuel stop revealed a technical issue requiring extended maintenance, airline officials confirmed.

Flight AI103, which took off from Delhi on July 2, had landed in the Austrian capital for refuelling as part of its long-haul journey. During standard ground checks, a maintenance issue was flagged that could not be immediately resolved. As a result, the airline made the decision to cancel the onward leg of the journey to Washington in the interest of passenger safety.

Air India said necessary arrangements were being made for passengers, and the aircraft would remain in Vienna until repairs were completed.
