Air India Express News
Air India Express has cancelled its Patna-Delhi flight IX1348 on September 21 and September 22, 2026, due to operational reasons. The cancellation was confirmed by Patna Airport authorities after the airline informed them about the change in the flight schedule.
The affected flight was scheduled to operate from Patna to Delhi at 7:15 am on both days. Passengers who had booked tickets on these dates may therefore face changes to their travel plans.
According to information shared by the airline with Patna Airport, flight IX1348 will not operate on September 21 and September 22.
Airport authorities said the airline cited operational reasons for the cancellation. However, no further information was immediately available about the exact nature of the operational issue.
Operational issues can sometimes affect airline schedules and may result in changes or cancellations. In this case, the airline informed the airport authorities about the cancellation before the scheduled departures.
The cancellation affects passengers who were planning to travel from Patna to Delhi on the two dates.
Passengers booked on the affected service have been advised to check the latest flight information before travelling to the airport. They can also contact Air India Express for details related to their bookings.
Information about whether passengers will be shifted to another flight, allowed to reschedule their journey or receive refunds was not provided in the available update.
Travellers are therefore expected to contact the airline directly to understand the options available for their tickets.
The Patna-Delhi route is an important domestic connection for passengers travelling between Bihar and the national capital. A cancellation on a scheduled morning flight can affect passengers with work commitments, connecting flights and other travel plans.
Passengers who had arranged onward journeys from Delhi may need to make changes depending on the alternative travel options offered by the airline.
The lack of further details about the operational issue means that the exact reason for the cancellation remains unclear at this stage.
Patna Airport authorities have confirmed that they received information about the cancellation from the Air India Express team.
Such updates allow airport authorities to inform passengers and make necessary arrangements at the terminal. Travellers are also encouraged to confirm their flight status directly with the airline because schedules can change.
The airline’s decision affects only the specified dates mentioned in the available information, namely September 21 and September 22.
For passengers affected by the cancellation, the next step will be to confirm their travel alternatives with Air India Express. The airline may provide information about rescheduling, alternate services or other applicable options.
At present, the airport has only confirmed that flight IX1348 was cancelled for operational reasons and that the service was scheduled to depart Patna at 7:15 am on both dates.
Further details about the operational issue and passenger arrangements were not immediately available. Passengers travelling on the Patna-Delhi route are advised to check their booking status before arriving at the airport.
