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.
A tissue paper, with the word "bomb" written on it, was found in the Air India flight lavatory at Delhi airport, prompting security agencies to conduct an inspection but it turned out to be a hoax, a police official said.
About a dozen Air India Express flights from the four international airports in Kerala were cancelled leaving passengers aggrieved.
Air India, India’s leading global airline, and All Nippon Airways, the largest Japanese carrier, have signed a codeshare agreement connecting their networks.
They also said that the concerns expressed by the Vistara pilots are not isolated incidents but rather indicative of systemic issues that extend across various Tata Group aviation entities.
The daily non-stop flight from Lucknow Airport to Muscat departed at 7:30 hrs and the flight to Dammam departed at 19:50 hrs.
