Air India announced on X that it is operating special flights between Delhi and Kathmandu to assist stranded passengers, with regular service resuming tomorrow.
According to The Kathmandu Post, Nepal’s aviation sector has faced repeated disruptions caused by severe weather and infrastructure challenges, which have left travelers stranded across multiple airports. The newspaper reported that interruptions to air transport have disproportionately affected international routes such as Kathmandu–Delhi, one of the busiest links for Nepalese passengers. Air India's decision to provide special flights highlights the role of international carriers in ensuring continuity of essential services when local aviation operations are strained.
As detailed in Air India’s official travel advisory, the airline scheduled special relief flights on September 10 and 11 between Delhi and Kathmandu. The announcement confirmed that scheduled operations would resume following these services, minimizing long-term disruption to passengers. Air India also urged travelers to check live updates via the "Flight Status" tool on its website or call its 24×7 helpline, underscoring its customer service approach during operational challenges.
