Air India on Thursday said it is waiving ticket cancellation and other charges for passengers booked on flights to and from Male till February 20, in view of the prevailing situation in Maldives.

The island nation plunged into chaos last week when the apex court ordered the release of nine imprisoned opposition politicians, maintaining that their trials were "politically motivated and flawed".

Against this backdrop, Air India has said it is waiving charges related to cancellation and date change, among others, till February 20.
