MUMBAI: Indian students with a valid visa can fly to the US to join their universities in August, but in the past few weeks many have found their flights cancelled or rescheduled. Air India sources said its collateral damage brought on by the continued restrictions on other categories of US-bound travelers from India.
On May 4, US banned entry to certain categories of non-immigrant travelers from India. “The flyers expected US to relax these restrictions as the Covid cases have gone down. Anticipating this, they booked US flight tickets. But the restrictions haven’t been lifted yet and so this category of flyers have been cancelling their tickets,” said an Air India source.
