Air India (AI) on Sunday said it will reduce its India-Sri Lanka services from 16 flights per week to 13 from April 9 due to poor demand in view of the worst economic crisis in the island nation.
With long lines for fuel, cooking gas, essentials in short supply and long hours of power cuts, the public in Sri Lanka has been suffering for weeks. A spokesperson for Air India, now owned by Tata Group, said: “At present, AI is operating 16 flights a week — seven daily flights from Delhi and nine flights a week from Chennai.”
In the new schedule, AI will be operating 13 flights per week, the spokesperson said.
