Air India Offers Full Refunds for Flights Affected by Heavy Rain in Mumbai

The city of Mumbai has been experiencing heavy rainfall for the past few weeks, resulting in flight disruptions and other challenges. Air India has announced that they are offering full refunds or a one-time complimentary rescheduling for bookings confirmed for travel on July 21, 2024, due to the adverse weather conditions. Additionally, the airline has advised passengers to check the flight status before heading to the airport, amidst the ongoing flight cancellations and diversions.

In response to the heavy rainfall, the Mumbai Police issued an advisory urging citizens to avoid going out in coastal areas and to leave their homes only if necessary, while also providing an emergency contact number. Furthermore, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation recommended that residents minimize their outdoor activities, as the India Meteorological Department issued an orange alert for Mumbai, indicating heavy to very heavy rainfall. The impact of the heavy rains has extended to other districts in Maharashtra’s Konkan region, with an orange alert being issued for Thane, Palghar, Raigad, Ratnagiri, and Sindhudurg districts.

As a result, waterlogging and traffic snarls have been reported on several roads in Mumbai. *(Note: The headline is the only part of this story that has been edited by NDTV staff. The rest of the text is published from a syndicated feed.
