Air India has reduced frequencies on several international routes for three months as rising fuel costs and geopolitical tensions increase pressure on airline operations globally.
Tata Group-owned Air India is likely to reduce its international flight operations after posting a loss of nearly Rs 20,000 crore in FY26, amidst rising aviation fuel costs, according to senior officials.
The revision in fuel surcharges is expected to increase airfares; however, Air India said it will continue to absorb a significant portion of the increased cost.
The Airbus A320 was coming from Bagdogra and reportedly had 148 people, including six crew members on board.
Air India said on Monday that it has completed harmonising operating procedures across key functions for the four Tata Group airlines as a crucial step towards the merger.
The inflight caterer in a statement shared with IANS said that they are committed to the highest standards of food safety.
Notably, Air India’s Delhi-San Francisco flight was delayed for more than 20 hours due to a technical issue with the aircraft. AI 183, which was to depart from Delhi at 1530 IST on May 30, has been rescheduled and will now take off at 1500 IST on May 31.
For the first time after its takeover by the Tata Group in 2022, Air India on Thursday announced a salary hike for its staff who joined the airline before December 31, 2023.
The sources said that the crew members alerted the Air Traffic Controller after a fire was noticed soon after the take off.
