Air India Cuts 100 Daily Flights as Rising ATF Prices Increase Pressure

Rising crude oil prices are creating fresh turbulence for the aviation sector, and passengers may soon feel the impact. As global fuel costs surge, aviation turbine fuel (ATF) has become significantly more expensive, putting major pressure on airlines. In response, Air India has decided to scale back operations by cutting nearly 100 flights every day, a move that could affect both domestic and international travel plans.

Air India trims network amid rising costs

The sharp increase in jet fuel prices has made airline operations far more expensive. With fuel forming a major share of operational costs, Air India is now reducing its daily services to manage expenses. The biggest impact will be seen on international routes, especially flights connecting India to Europe, North America, Australia, and Singapore.

From June onward, passengers on these routes may find fewer available flights, reduced flexibility, and possible disruptions to travel schedules.
