Air India to suspend flights on several international routes as jet fuel prices surge

Air India will temporarily suspend its services on certain international routes from June to August due to airspace restrictions over some regions and record-high prices of jet fuel, stated the airline on Wednesday.

Among the routes that will be disrupted are Delhi-Chicago and Mumbai-New York. Flights on the Delhi-Shanghai, Chennai-Singapore, Mumbai-Dhaka and Delhi-Malé routes will be suspended throughout August, added the airline.

Air India said that it will reduce the frequency of its flights to San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver, Paris, Copenhagen, Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore and Bangkok, among others, during this period.
