The announcement follows the Indian Armed Forces' precision strikes on terrorist infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as part of Operation Sindoor. According to NDTV, these military actions have led to disruptions in air travel, prompting airlines like Air India to accommodate affected passengers, particularly defense personnel. The airline's policy aims to mitigate the impact of these disruptions on military travelers.

Air India, established in 1932 and headquartered in New Delhi, is the flag carrier airline of India. The airline operates a fleet serving domestic and international destinations across Asia, Europe, North America, and other regions. As part of the Tata Group, Air India is committed to providing quality service and upholding its legacy as a premier airline.
