Air India on Wednesday announced a temporary rationalisation of its international flight schedule from June to August 2026 due to continued airspace restrictions over certain regions and record-high jet fuel prices that have affected the commercial viability of several operations.

The national carrier said the adjustments are aimed at ensuring network stability and minimising last-minute disruptions for passengers. Despite the cuts, Air India will continue to operate more than 1,200 international flights every month, maintaining a robust global presence across five continents. This includes 33 weekly flights to North America, 47 to Europe, 57 to the United Kingdom, eight to Australia, 158 to the Far East, Southeast Asia and SAARC regions, and seven to Mauritius in Africa.
