Air India says it is reviewing its international flight schedules after conditions in the Middle East improve, which has increased available airspace and reduced jet fuel costs. In comments attributed to CEO Campbell Wilson, the airline indicates it may restore some services that had been cut earlier during periods of tighter airspace and higher operating costs. The review comes after Air India reduced capacity on select international routes between June and August this year. The reductions were linked to airspace restrictions over parts of the Middle East and to record-high international jet fuel prices that affected airline operations. With calmer conditions in the region, more routes are becoming operationally feasible, and lower fuel expenses improve the economics of running flights. Air India’s planning focuses on adjusting overseas schedules rather than announcing a full return across all markets. The airline’s next steps depend on ongoing regional conditions, airspace availability, and prevailing fuel costs, according to the points cited in the reports.
