Air India Cuts Flights of Narrow-Body Planes on 19 Routes

'Despite these reductions, Air India will continue to operate around 600 daily flights with its narrow-body aircraft'

- 

NEW DELHI: Air India on Sunday said it will temporarily reduce 118 weekly flights operated with narrow-body planes on 19 routes as well as suspend services on three routes.

The temporary cuts in services account for about 5 per cent of the airline's overall narrow-body operations and the move is aimed at ensuring operational stability amid disruptions in the wake of the fatal plane crash in Ahmedabad on June 12.

All the 19 routes where reduction in narrow-body services have been done are domestic and of the three routes where flights have been suspended, two are international and one is domestic.
