AI may resume key international routes by month-end

Mumbai: State-owned Air India will resume most of its international operations by the end of the month. The airline was forced to scale down its international operations massively following the recent two-month strike by a section of pilots.
"We will be ready to restart our full international operations by the end of August. We will restore New York, Chicago and Paris flights by then...Also resume flights to Hong Kong and Shanghai," an airline official said.
Air India will also add more services to the busy Southeast Asian regions by mid-August.
Around 400 pilots, members of the now de-recognised Indian Pilots Guild (IPG), had gone on a 58-day strike from May 7 to protest the decision to allow the erstwhile Indian Airlines pilots to train on the Boeing Dreamliners.
