Air India Express Lucknow-Dubai flight cancelled after technical issue with Boeing plane

An Air India Express flight from Lucknow to Dubai was cancelled on Wednesday morning after the aircraft faced a technical problem at Lucknow airport, according to a source quoted by PTI.

The flight, IX 193, was supposed to be operated using a Boeing 737 MAX plane and had over 155 passengers booked to travel.

The airline has not yet issued an official statement, but PTI sources say the flight was cancelled as a precautionary measure due to the aircraft’s technical issue.

Hotel stay and refund options for passengers
To manage the situation, passengers were given hotel accommodation and offered the choice of either a full refund or free rescheduling for a later date. Most travellers chose to stay at the hotel.

The flight is expected to be rescheduled around the same time on Thursday, the source added.

Passengers have been advised to stay updated through the airline’s official website or contact centres.
