Air India, which is owned by the Tata Group, has cancelled its scheduled flight from Delhi to Narita, Japan, on Friday, August 16. The airline has informed passengers that those who have confirmed tickets on the Delhi-Narita route for August 16 will receive a one-time rescheduling waiver and full refunds for cancellations.
