Air India reducing flights on US routes. Watch why

Wilson made the comments while speaking at the CAPA India Summit in Delhi.

Air India has said that it will reduce the number of flights plying on some American routes on a temporary basis.

Air India CEO and MD Campbell Wilson on 20 March 2023 said that the frequency of flights will be reduced due to crew shortage issues. In recent months, some long-haul flights have been impacted due to crew shortage issues, as per the news agency PTI.

Tata Group took control of loss-making Air India along with Air India Express and 50 per cent stake in AIATSL in January 2022.

Air India has put in place a road map under Vihaan.AI for transformation over a five-year period and has taken various measures, including committing USD 400 million to refurbish the interiors of its entire wide-body fleet.

Last month, the airline announced placing orders for 470 aircraft from Airbus and Boeing, including 70 wide-body planes. Out of the total, 250 will be from Airbus and 220 from Boeing. There is also an option to purchase additional 370 aircraft from the two plane makers.

Besides, the merger of AirAsia India, rebranded as AIX Connect, with Air India Express as well as the merger of Vistara with Air India has been initiated.
