The reduction has started with immediate effect and will be implemented in the month of July. It is noteworthy that this decision has been taken in the wake of the Ahmedabad plane crash and a safety check on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. 83 Air India flights had to be cancelled According to reports, Air India operates around 70 international flights daily with its wide-body aircraft i.e. Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Boeing 777 and Airbus A350. However, the recent airspace closure on routes to Western countries has increased flight times, which has affected the availability of aircraft. Additionally, Boeing 787 aircraft are undergoing safety checks following the accident of Air India flight AI171 from Ahmedabad to London on June 12, which has limited the flight capabilities of these aircraft.
