According to the minister, Air India has recently taken various initiatives to increase the flight occupancy and curtail loss-making operations.

National carrier Air India said on Monday it has reduced the frequency of its Delhi-Moscow flight from four times a week to twice a week from Feb 25, 2015.
According to Minister of State for Civil Aviation Mahesh Sharma, the airline has done so as the revenue was not meeting operational costs.
The flag carrier had restarted its services to Moscow last July after a gap of 15 years.
