This disruption affected over 2,000 flights and left thousands of passengers stranded. Air India confirmed that flight AI129 from Mumbai to London returned to Mumbai, and flight AI161 from Delhi was diverted to Frankfurt. All remaining Air India flights to and from Heathrow, including AI111, were canceled for March 21. Flights to London Gatwick remained unaffected.
