Air India Plans Fleet Expansion, Network Rebalancing, and Cost Cuts to Boost Profitability
Air India CEO Tewolde Gebremariam outlined plans to expand the airline's wide-body aircraft fleet, rebalance its international network by shifting more westbound flights from Delhi to Mumbai, and explore Bengaluru as a third hub. The airline aims to regain lost overseas market share and return to profitability soon by reducing operating costs and improving efficiency. Challenges include high fuel prices, geopolitical tensions, and Pakistan's airspace closure, which have increased operational costs and disrupted routes. Shareholders Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines support a long-term growth strategy focused on strengthening Air India's global presence.
