Air India has issued a clarification regarding a viral social media post that falsely claimed the airline canceled all international flights until July due to fuel shortages. In a tweet, Air India labeled the claims as 'malicious' and 'fabricated', urging travelers to consult official channels for accurate updates. The speculation may have originated from reports of the airline scaling back its international network amid rising fuel prices linked to ongoing conflicts in West Asia. Although Air India has not suspended all international flights, it has extended the suspension of its Tel Aviv-Delhi route until the end of June. The airline's outgoing CEO, Campbell Wilson, explained that the decision to trim certain international routes was due to unprofitability caused by increased jet fuel prices and airspace closures. He noted that while domestic flights have also faced challenges, government measures have somewhat mitigated the impact on domestic fuel prices.
