Air India: Air India has taken a big decision on Sunday and has reduced the number of domestic and short-haul international flights by 5 percent.

The frequency of many flights operating from important cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata and Pune has been reduced. Flights from Mumbai to Goa, Hyderabad and other metros have also been reduced by five to twelve weekly flights.
Big decision after Ahmedabad crash
This decision has come at a time when Air India had already reduced its services on long-haul international routes by 15 percent after the AI 171 Dreamliner plane crash in Ahmedabad on June 12. Apart from this, the airline is also facing problems due to rules like closure of West Asian airspace and night curfew in Europe and East Asia. Due to these reasons, Air India has recently had to cancel 83 wide-body flights.
Airline improving network
Since the airline is reorganizing its network and taking ‘maximum caution’, all flights will be resumed as soon as technical checks are completed and the airspace situation becomes normal. Air India wants to assure passengers that as soon as the precautionary work being done by it is completed and the airspace becomes stable, the facilities will start being available as before.
