Surviving on massive government bailout package for the
moment, Air India, the national carrier of India, is in the process of putting
its house in order for the ultimate objective of attaining profitability in the
near future. As a part of series of measure across the horizontal and vertical
segments of its business operations and cutting across different departments,
Air India is shutting down offices which it considers a drag on its
resources. While it is happening in India, it is also being done in foreign
cities as well.
Air India has offices in many countries of the world, even in
those countries where there are no flight operations. Efforts are afoot to
close all those offices where revenue generation is not as per expectations and
where there are no flights. To meet this end, the carrier has shut offices in
Zurich, Chittagong and Vienna. In the immediate future, it will also close
offices in Cairo and Tehran. However, the offices in Washington, Los Angeles
and Amsterdam will continue to remain open even though these cities do not have
flights currently. Air India will also be downsizing operations in its Toronto
office.
