Air India slashes international flights amid West Asia tensions. The airline announced sweeping cuts to its international schedule between June and August, removing 145 weekly flights across North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Far East. North America operations face a 39% reduction, with key routes like Delhi-Chicago and Mumbai-New York temporarily suspended. European services to Paris, Copenhagen, and Milan are cut by 34%, while Southeast Asia and South Asia routes see the sharpest declines at 57%. The cuts stem from the West Asia conflict forcing airlines to avoid conflict-hit airspace, requiring longer flight paths and increased operational costs. This represents a 27% overall reduction in Air India's international operations during peak travel season.
