Nepal Gen Z Protest: Air India Express on Wednesday announced that the passengers booked to travel to or from Nepal until September 17 can cancel their ticket without any extra charges. The airline also stated that the passengers can reschedule their trips, adding that the decision was taken considering the current situation in Kathmandu. The Air India spokesperson further stated that the airline is dedicated to ensuring safety and convenience for the passengers amid an ongoing protest in Nepal over the ban on the social media sites and corruption. The massive protest in the top cities of Nepal has led to the resignation of Prime Minister KP Oli. Apart from this, 19 protesters have died, and at least 500 others have been injured due to the retaliation from the security forces.

"In view of the prevailing situation in Nepal, we are offering guests booked to travel to or from Nepal up to 17th September 2025, the support and flexibility to freely reschedule their journeys to any future travel date with a complete waiver of change fees or any fare difference. Alternatively, guests who elect to cancel their bookings for these dates would receive a full refund to their original mode of payment or travel agent," an Air India Express spokesperson was quoted as saying by ANI.
