Now, Air India cancels several international flights

National carrier Air India has cancelled several international flights on account of low passenger yields on the sectors which include Delhi-Madrid.

In a late Wednesday night development, the airline said 6 international flights from Delhi to places like Birmingham have been cancelled.

"Due to operational reasons..Air India flights are suspended w.e.f March 16, 2019 till further notice," the airline said in a statement.

Route rationalistion is one the key programmes that the airline`s management is running to reduce cost and infuse efficiency.

However, the development comes even as other airlines like SpiceJet cancelled flights, which has sharply pushed up airfares.
