Air India, facing soaring jet fuel prices, plans to cut around 100 flights daily, affecting both domestic and international routes. The airline operates approximately 1,100 flights daily, with the most significant reductions occurring on flights to Europe, North America, and Australia. The rising cost of jet fuel, which has doubled since March, now accounts for up to 40% of operational costs, severely impacting profitability. The Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA), representing major carriers, has warned that without government intervention, further service suspensions may occur. Air India's operational challenges are compounded by the closure of Pakistani airspace, necessitating longer routes for flights to North America, which increases fuel consumption and costs. The airline has reported losses exceeding ₹20,000 crore (roughly $2.4 billion USD), putting pressure on its owner, Tata Sons, and its strategic partner, Singapore Airlines, to implement cost-cutting measures.
