Carrier to scrap 15pc of long-haul services over next month as it inspects Boeing jet fleet

Safety concerns force airline to make number of cancellations in wake of Thursday’s crash

Flights involving Boeing Dreamliners cancelled on routes including London, Paris, Vienna and Dubai

The firm's Gatwick-bound plane carrying 242 passengers, including 53 UK nationals, crashed just moments after take-off from Ahmedabad Airport in the Indian state of Gujarat.

Air India will cut international flights on its widebody aircraft, citing ongoing inspections and disruptions after the deadly crash of a Boeing Dreamliner.

The move came a day after Indian officials told the airline to improve its operations, and as delays and canceled flights are drawing complaints from passengers.
