Air India’s int’l revenue soars with some help from Jet closure
New Delhi: The grounding of Jet AirwaysNSE 4.92 % helped national carrier Air India boost its revenue from international operations by 20% during the first eight months of this financial year, a huge gain considering the single-digit increase during the year-earlier period.
“The increase in numbers is despite the closure of Pakistani airspace, which impacted not only our international operations but that of all carriers using that route,” said a senior Air India official who did not want to be identified.
