Air India’s board of directors is set to convene on May 7, with discussions expected to center on implementing cost-saving measures and the selection of a new Chief Executive Officer. The airline is currently navigating a period of considerable financial strain, exacerbated by escalating jet fuel prices and ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia.
Among the proposed cost-reduction initiatives are the unbundling of services such as in-flight meals and lounge access. These measures are part of a broader strategy to enhance financial stability and operational efficiency.
The search for a permanent CEO is also a key agenda item for the upcoming meeting. The airline aims to appoint a leader who can steer it through the current challenging environment and towards future growth.
