After the amount of cancellation and delay, Air India announced that it will cancel 15% of its wide schedule until mid -July because they are trying to get its schedule back on the track. The airline was already under pressure to close Pakistani airspace. 12th June AI171 crashed in Ahmedabad and the next day Israel attacked Iran, which led to a large piece of airspace was closed in West Asia.
The closure of the Iranian and surrounding airspace led to a longer flight trip, which led to a delay associated with the mandate of the regulatory body to have further inspections requiring more ground time than usual, which contributes to delay at the time of turnover. This led to the cancellation and rotation of the air, which led to chaos. It used to be about 18 hours for the aircraft to return to Delhi from a typical European destination; Now it takes almost 22 hours and puts pressure on another set of flights.

The grounding of aircraft was added to the mix, which eventually led to the announcement of the flight cuts.
The airline had 83 abolished in the last six days. In the next few days it will come up with a revised schedule, reflecting shortening. If you are a passenger scheduled for flying with Air India in its Widebody network, make sure your contact details will be up to date so that the airline can get you if you have been overparted or canceled. With many passengers who want to move to other flights to abolish, it would be wise to look for alternatives offered by airline immediately after receiving the intimation.
What do the numbers say?
After the loss of VT-ANB in Ahmedabad, the aircraft company Flotil has 26 787-8 Dreamliners, seven 787-9 Dreamliners, 24 B777 and six A350.
The data obtained from Cirium, Aviation Analytics Company, show that the airline has 639 flights planned on broadband aircraft per week. The Earl is higher due to technical stops in Vienna or Kolkata, each leg counting as a separate flight, even if it is a technical stop. Of these, 305 for 787-8, 80 on 787-9 and 192 on 777s. There are 62 flights on the A350, six of which are with the airline.

A 15% reduction in the total schedule would mean the abolition of 96 flights a week. However, it is unlikely that it would affect the entire fleet and could be limited to a particular fleet. A 15% reduction in 787-8 would mean a weekly reduction of 45 flights for airline. In fact, this means that hundreds of flights will be canceled in the next three to four weeks, the instructions of the airline for abolition until mid -July.
BLOW TO VIA INDIA CAMPAIGN
In February, Air India again timed the timing of its flights to Australia and some to Europe and offered the fastest connections from Sydney and Melbourne to Frankfurt and Paris. A series of geopolitical events, along with a deadly accident, has been putting pressure on the airline for its campaign to attract more passengers and set up Delhi as its main center.
Subsequent closure of the airspace led to a higher time of travel, delay, possible inability or longer transmission time. The impact of the crash on the forward reservation is not known at the moment. Usually there is an immediate impact, but stabilizes for some time because the course of investigation and finding is published. In the case of Air India, the regulator has already reported that it had not found anything worrying on the maintenance side, which was taken as a preventive measure.

Tail note
Air India was in the middle of a turnover, often called the largest in the world. According to her own acceptance, her transformation VIHAAN.AI completed two phases of taxi and takeoff.
The “taxi” phase focused on solving the heritage and building of basic elements. The “take -off” phase was focused on the development of operational perfection systems and processes. At this time, there will be more questions than answers, both in the accident and the robustness of processes towards operational perfection. It is one thing that creates them in good times and the other to carry out them in times of crisis.
