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

Air India is offering full refunds or a one-time complimentary rescheduling for bookings confirmed for travel on Sunday due to heavy rains in Mumbai affecting flight operations. The airline advised passengers to check the flight status before heading to the airport. They also provided a contact number for further assistance. Mumbai has been experiencing heavy rains for the past couple of weeks, prompting the Mumbai Police to issue an advisory asking citizens to avoid going out in coastal areas and to leave their homes only if necessary, taking necessary precautions.

They also provided an emergency contact number. The Mumbai civic authority had previously urged residents to avoid going out unless necessary, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an orange alert for the city, predicting heavy to very heavy rainfall. This alert also extended to other districts in the Konkan region. Several roads in Mumbai have been waterlogged, causing traffic disruptions due to the heavy rains.
