National carrier Air India has decided to close down five of its European stations to reduce costs and streamline operations in the Covid-19 era.
The airline will close down the Copenhagen, Vienna, Stockholm, Madrid, and Milan stations.
The move will effectively cease the airline’s operations to these destinations as and when normal international flight services commence.
As per an internal communication between the airline’s head quarters (HQ) and station managers, instructions have been made to close down stations and relocate the international booking offices (IBOs).
In one such message which was reviewed by IANS, the HQ has instructed an official in Italy about the closure of the station in Milan.
