Air India’s board meets to review the airline’s worsening financial performance for FY26 and to discuss measures aimed at reducing costs amid operational headwinds linked to disruptions in West Asia. Multiple reports say the airline is under pressure as higher fuel prices and the impact of the West Asia conflict affect travel patterns and flight operations. The board discusses steps intended to improve the airline’s cost structure, including potential workforce-related measures such as furloughs, alongside broader cost controls. Separately, the discussion also includes management planning, with reports indicating attention to CEO succession arrangements as part of the company’s longer-term planning. The meeting reflects a focus on stabilizing finances while adapting to continuing uncertainty in regional air travel demand and routing. While the reports describe the issues driving losses—fuel cost pressures and disruptions affecting operations—they do not specify finalized actions or timelines from the board decision. Air India’s next steps are therefore described as under review and subject to further internal processes.
