Air India denies suspending all international flights, clarifies only select routes are reduced amid soaring fuel costs and longer flight paths

The Iran war has triggered airspace closures, forced longer reroutings and driven a sharp rise in global fuel costs, adding pressure on global airlines.

Air India, a carrier co-owned by Tata Group and Singapore Airlines, plans to scale back over a quarter of its international flights from June as rising costs bite.

Air India cuts and suspends select international flights until August 2026 amid high fuel costs and airspace curbs, while maintaining over 1,200 monthly global services.
