Air India is discontinuing service on these domestic routes
Air India, which Tata owns, is moving toward altering how the airline functions. As part of this transformation, the airline has implemented many modifications to its business practices, one of which is developing its domestic flight network. According to a report from Business Standard, as part of this shift, Air India has also eliminated some of the less profitable routes from its domestic flight network. This was done as part of the overall change. The decision represents a meaningful change that will help boost the airline’s business. During this time, the airline’s presence on metro-to-metro connections has steadily grown.

They will impact several states in India because of Air India’s decision to end some domestic flight routes. According to a report published by Business Standard, the routes that have been discontinued are as follows: Delhi-Ranchi, Delhi-Raipur, Delhi-Nagpur, Aizawl-Imphal, Bhopal-Pune, Kolkata-Dibrugarh, Kolkata-Dimapur, and Kolkata-Jaipur.
Air India encountered difficulties in turning a profit in several of these markets due to weak customer demand. In others, it could not do so because of intense competition. According to the data that Cirium collected, the report notes that during June, Air India operated 14 weekly flights that competed with IndiGo’s 58 and Go First’s 14 on the route that runs between Delhi and Nagpur. Similar conditions prevailed on the Delhi-Raipur route, with the exception that Air India only operated 14 flights each week on this route, while IndiGo and Vistara each operated 28 flights.
According to Business Standard, these changes have resulted in an increase in flight frequency on a number of significant airport routes, including Delhi-Mumbai, Delhi-Bengaluru, Mumbai-Chennai, Mumbai-Bengaluru, and Hyderabad-Mumbai.
According to a spokesman from Air India, the airline is profiting from metro routes since it is easier to fill up the luxury cabins on these sectors. This is another reason why metro routes are beneficial. Other routes that have increased frequency include Delhi-Amritsar, Delhi-Ahmedabad, Delhi-Lucknow, Delhi-Pune, and Kolkata-Guwahati. The company’s new CEO, Campbell Wilson, have made this improvement possible. In addition, the airline is working hard to increase the number of overseas routes it offers. The Indian carrier has resumed service on a number of its routes to several cities in the United States and multiple European countries.
