New Delhi: A report submitted by a government—appointed committee has concluded that 14 international flights, including long-haul ones, are accounting for 80 per cent of the financial losses in flight operation of national carrier Air India. These include flights such as the Amritsar-Delhi-Toronto flight.
The committee, headed by a civil aviation ministry official, has made several recommendations, including deployment of aircraft with smaller capacity on international flights where the load factor is just about half of the capacity. The committee has also recommended that different aircraft with varying capacities be deployed on routes depending on the time-period of the year. It has said, for instance, that if it is a peak summer or winter travel/holiday season where load capacity is high, then aircraft with bigger capacity can be deployed.
