Air India will suspend three U.S. routes and cut back flying on others as it battles regional airspace closures and high jet fuel prices.
The carrier said Wednesday that it will temporarily suspend service between Delhi and Chicago, Delhi and Newark, New Jersey, and Mumbai and New York-JFK starting in June.
Flights between Delhi and San Francisco will be reduced from 10 times weekly to seven times weekly through August.
Air India will continue to offer seven weekly flights between Delhi and New York-JFK, and service between Mumbai and Newark will increase, from three times weekly to seven times weekly, to accommodate some of the displaced traffic.
In Canada, the airline will cut Delhi-Vancouver service from seven times weekly to five times weekly. Flights between Delhi and Toronto will drop from 10 weekly to five weekly through July, then increase to daily service in August.
Air India also plans to reduce service to destinations in Europe, Asia, and Australia between June and August.
