Air India to suspend several international flights for 3 months from June

Air India has decided to suspend several international flights for three months, beginning June, amid surging jet fuel prices due to the Middle East crisis, said reports. Multiple reports said that the reduction in international flights from Delhi include key destinations like Chicago and Newark in the US, Singapore and Shanghai.

Moreover, Air India flights to destinations like San Francisco, Paris, and Toronto have been cut. Overall, the airline has reduced around



100 daily flights, said reports. Air India CEO Campbell Wilson last week said that the airline would continue reducing international services amid higher fuel prices amid geo-political tensions.

Facing rising financial pressure and operational challenges, Air India has intensified its internal compliance and cost-control measures, with the airline terminating more than 1,000 employees over the last three years for ethical misconduct and policy violations.
