The carrier is reducing international services operated by its wide-body aircraft by around 15% to carry out "enhanced pre-flight safety checks" and to mitigate airspace closures in the Middle East owing to the Israel-Iran conflict.


"The objective is to restore schedule stability and minimise last-minute inconvenience to passengers," said Air India, which has now cancelled more than 80 flights in the past week.
