Air India has announced reductions in its flight schedules as a result of a massive rise in jet fuel prices, which has made many international routes unprofitable. CEO Campbell Wilson stated that the airline has already cut some flights for April and May and anticipates further reductions in June and July due to ongoing challenges with fuel costs and airspace restrictions. While domestic operations are also impacted, they are affected to a lesser degree thanks to government measures limiting domestic fuel price increases to 25%. To manage rising costs, Air India has raised airfares and introduced fuel surcharges, although these measures may deter customer demand. The airline is also concerned about geopolitical tensions in the Middle East affecting operations. Despite these challenges, Air India is committed to its long-term transformation plans, including fleet upgrades and the implementation of hub-and-spoke operations that will facilitate easier transit for passengers from smaller cities. The airline aims to enhance customer experience while expanding its international connectivity.
