Air India CEO Highlights Challenges of Middle Eastern Geopolitics on Global Airlines

Air India CEO Tewolde has said that the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are affecting all airlines in the world in some way or the other. According to Air India CEO Tewolde, the Middle East and Pakistan airspace restrictions are causing Air India to make changes to its network. In addition, the airline is facing indirect challenges such as fuel prices more than doubling compared to last year. Air India CEO described the closure of Pakistan airspace as a different challenge for the company. He said, "We have a different problem with Pakistan airspace closure. It is not affecting our competitors. It is not affecting all airlines in the Middle East."
