AI likely to reopen international bookings

New Delhi: Air India, which is operating a curtailed global flight schedule due to the pilots' strike, is likely to reopen international bookings and firm up a fresh operating schedule by this weekend with the help of 130 executive pilots.
The airline said the three-week agitation by over 200 pilots has seen a drop in the number of its international passengers by about 3,000 and that its financial loss had gone up to over Rs 320 crore for this period.
The Air India Board, which met here, considered the next steps to deal with the pilots' strike, spearheaded by the now derecognised Indian Pilots Guild (IPG), official sources said.
