Air India has denied reports claiming that the airline cancelled all international flights until July because of fuel shortages, calling the speculation “false and baseless” even as it scales back some overseas operations amid rising costs.
“Malicious and fabricated claims circulating on certain platforms alleging that Air India has cancelled all international flights are completely false and baseless,” Air India Newsroom said in a post on X.
The clarification came after reports linked the airline’s recent international route cuts to an alleged wider operational crisis driven by soaring jet fuel prices.
Air India has, however, implemented reductions across parts of its international network for three months starting June as higher fuel costs and longer flying times hurt profitability on several routes.
The airline has suspended flights from Delhi to destinations including Chicago, Newark, Singapore and Shanghai as part of those temporary adjustments.
