The reduction in losses comes as Air India continues to face pressure to cut costs following a large net loss in the previous fiscal year.
IllustrationAir India's losses for the first half of FY27 fell by about ₹2,000 crore, easing a burden on Singapore Airlines. The Singapore-based carrier owns 25.1 per cent of Air India and records its share of profit or loss in the Indian airline's consolidated results.
The decline does not erase the larger problems. Air India posted a consolidated net loss of ₹22,238 crore in FY2025-26, underscoring persistent cost-pressure and ongoing financial challenges.
What this means for Indian travellersAir India's narrower loss offers short-term benefit to Singapore Airlines, yet the long-term health of the Indian carrier remains doubtful.
