Air India posts ₹27,000 cr loss

Air India has been struggling with high costs lately, thanks to issues like the Iran conflict and Pakistani airspace restrictions, which means fewer flights and pricier fuel.
Losses for FY26 hit ₹27,000 crore, so Tata and Singapore Airlines (which own part of Air India) are pumping in more cash.
All this uncertainty has slowed decision-making and made things tough for employees, but the airline is trying to cut costs by swapping old planes for new ones while keeping up capacity.
