The current financial crunch being faced by Air India needs to be viewed in the global context as the aviation industry worldwide has been passing through turbulent times. All airlines in India and abroad have been experiencing low fares, poor load factors, drop in premium travel, decline in cargo loads and low yields due to market conditions created by global recession. To tide over the situation, all airlines have been forced to take harsh and unpleasant decisions like curtailment of capacity, withdrawal of flights from certain routes, retrenching staff, reducing emoluments, etc..
