"We are trying to operate a minimum number of international operations by clubbing flights to destinations in Europe and the US," a senior Air India official with the operations arm told IANS.

"We have clubbed Delhi-Paris flights with those of Delhi-JFK (John F. Kennedy airport at New York). So, the flight has left Delhi and will land in Paris and then go onwards to New York and from there back to Delhi. We are monitoring the situation and informing the passengers in advance."
