So @airindia cancelled my flight AI-106 (2 July) today and sent no information through phone, email, or any channel. I got to know about it when i was checking flight status before leaving for airport. No info. on refund as well. Pathetic. @campbellwilson @USDOT @FlightRights

'It's nice that the winning team is being picked up'

As of now, AI106 which was supposed to be with this aircraft for usual passengers stands cancelled. No info on FlightRadar24 regarding that. It's nice that the winning team is being picked up with a special flight but @airindia needs to make sure to have a replacement plane quick https://t.co/dPkpGdVkL7
