Air India temporarily cuts narrow-body jet routes, suspends two international flights

NEW DELHI – Air India said on June 22 that it is temporarily reducing less than 5 per cent of its narrow-body jet routes for “operational stability”, its second such reduction following a plane crash earlier in June that killed all but one of the 242 people on board.

The airline, reeling from the deadliest crash in decades, said in a post on social media platform X that the cuts will strengthen its network-wide operational stability.

Two daily flights from India to Singapore will be suspended along with disruptions on 19 domestic routes until July 15, it said. On June 18, it cut international operations on its wide-body aircraft by 15 per cent, citing ongoing safety inspections and operational disruptions. REUTERS
