Air India and IndiGo are reducing the number of flights they have. This is because the price of jet fuel is going up a lot. The reason for this is the conflict in the Middle East. This is a problem for people who travel by air those going to and from the Gulf region.
This will affect a lot of people who live in the UAE and travel during the summer. Many Indians who live outside of India like to go during the summer to see their families. They usually fly from the UAE to India. Now they will have options to choose from.
Air India and IndiGo are airlines in India. They have a lot of passengers. When they reduce flights, it is a big deal. IndiGo has reduced its flights by 7 to 10 per cent. Air India has cut its flights by 22 per cent.
The price of fuel is very high now. It is 40 per cent of what the airlines spend. This is why they have to reduce flights. They cannot afford to keep flying if they are not making money. The conflict in the Middle East is causing problems with oil. This is why the price of fuel is so high.
Air India said that it had to reduce its flights because the price of fuel is too high. The airline said that the price of fuel has gone up a lot. It used to be around Rs 80,000 per kilolitre. Now it is more than Rs 100,000.
This will be a problem for people who travel from the UAE to India. They will have options to choose from. They may have to wait to get to their destination. They may also have to pay more for their tickets.
Air India has already stopped flying to some places. It has also reduced the number of flights to some cities. This is until August. IndiGo is also having some problems. It is still trying to expand. It is not easy.
People who watch the airline industry say ticket prices will be high this summer. This is because there are not enough seats available. The conflict in the Middle East is causing problems for the airlines. It is also causing problems for travellers.
The people who travel may have to choose an airline. They may have to fly with an airline from the Gulf. These airlines are also having problems with the price of fuel. The situation is not good. It may get even worse if the conflict in the Middle East continues. This could cause problems for the airlines and the people who travel for a time.
