Air India cuts foreign wide-body flights by 15% after crash


NEW DELHI: Air India is reducing its international service using widebody planes by 15% as the nation’s flag carrier grapples with the fallout from a fatal Boeing Co. 787 crash last week and an Israel-Iran clash in the Middle East.

The cuts will be rolled out through June 20 and will continue until at least mid-July, the carrier said in a press release on Wednesday. The airline also said it would undertake one-time safety inspections across its Boeing 777 fleet as "a matter of added precaution.”
