AI curtails services to Gulf

Mumbai April 1. Air India has curtailed its services from Mumbai to the Far East and the Gulf region and Chennai-Dubai by one flight each a week in view of a drop in the passenger load in the wake of the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

With effect from today, the airline has cut one flight each per week from Mumbai to Hong Kong, Bangkok-Tokyo, Jeddah, Doha-Bahrain and Chennai-Dubai, an airlines spokesperson said here today. An evaluation of the passenger loads of all flights was undertaken last week and a decision was taken to reduce the frequency by one flight each on these sectors.

Asked if any flights to Hong Kong and Bangkok were cancelled in view of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak, he said: ``If it were SARS it would have called for more drastic reduction.'' — PTI
