New Delhi: Air India has cut flight schedules and warned of further reductions in the coming months as a "massive rise in jetfuel prices", along with airspace restrictions and longer flying routes, has made several international operations unviable, according to a communication by its CEO Campbell Wilson.
Flagging the immediate challenge, Wilson said, "We have reduced some flying for April and May" due to the sharp spike in fuel costs, adding that these factors "has caused many of our international flights to become unprofitable to operate."
He further noted that the situation remains "extremely challenging," forcing the airline to take additional steps. "The airspace and jetfuel price situation remains extremely challenging, leaving us no choice but to further trim schedules for June and July," he said.
While domestic operations have also been impacted, the effect has been relatively lower. "The profitability of domestic flights has also been significantly affected, but to a lower degree thanks to the government's limitation of the domestic fuel price rise to 25%," Wilson said.
