Air India has requested $1.5 billion in emergency funding from its owners, Tata Group and Singapore Airlines, to cover operational losses incurred as of August 2026.
The financial strain is attributed to the ongoing conflict in West Asia and the closure of Pakistani airspace, which have significantly increased fuel costs and flight durations.
The airline is currently reviewing its route network and cost-cutting measures to stabilize its balance sheet while awaiting the capital infusion from its parent companies.
