Air India’s International Widebody flight cuts

Air India announced on 19 June 2025 that it will reduce its international services on widebody aircraft by 15 per cent for the next few weeks, according to Mint’s earlier report.

This announcement came six days after one of the biggest plane crashes, where an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner en route from Ahmedabad to London (Gatwick) crashed moments after takeoff. This accident claimed the lives of 241 souls on board the aircraft, barring one passenger seated at the 11A seat of the Dreamliner.

These cuts in the flight operations were set to be implemented by 20 June 2025, according to the earlier report.
