25 airports at near optimum utilisation Government

NEW DELHI. Twenty-five operational airports in the country have almost reached or nearing their optimum utilisation, and steps have been taken to bring their capacity as per the traffic demand, the government said on Thursday. 

 

Of the total 182 sectors, Air India is unable to "meet its total cost" in 31 sectors, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha said in a written reply in Lok Sabha. 

 

Air India takes into account the revenue contributions made by the subject services to its other services by feeder traffic. "Non-profitability of any one flight is not taken in isolation as the sole barometer of its financial performance."
