Air India Plans To Reconfigure First Class

Air India Ltd may lessen or even discard its first-class seats on most international flights depending on the result of an internal study it is conducting to reconfigure seats on its fleet to enhance revenue.

Air India also hopes to reorganize timing of some of its US flights, such as those to New York, to enhance aircraft utilization and to slash idle time for the wide-body aircraft from the end of this month when the winter season kicks in.

Demand for first-class seats, which can cost six times as much as an economy-class seat, has dropped as companies cut travel entitlements for top executives to save costs as the prospect of a second recession in the US in less than four years looms, European nations face a debt crisis as well as and rising interest rates in India crimp economic growth. A reconfiguration may lead to the airline withdrawing its first-class seats totally and installing more economy or business-class seats in its place
