  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

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

  No job cuts in Air India, reiterates Patel

Air IndiaCivil aviation minister Praful Patel has again ruled out any job cuts in Air India, the state-run airline which needs a cash infusion to continue.

Speaking to reporters after inaugurating a Rs 50-crore aviation turbine fuel pipeline of Indian Oil Corporation from Manali to Chennai, the minister said:"Air India will not sack employees but financial and organisational restructuring is on the cards."

The plan, he said, will commence in the next 30 days. Terming the current period as a tough one, the minister said, "It is time to cooperate with each other to build a strong national carrier."

The borrowings of Air India rose to Rs 15,241 crore in June this year from Rs 6,550 crore in November 2007. They have gone up due to servicing of debt due to purchase of new aircraft and operating losses, which have compounded due to the present economic recession and the high oil prices last year.
